Traditional Western psychology is criticized for perpetuating dominant cultural ideas, making mental wellness mostly about coping rather than addressing systemic injustices and racism.
Decolonial psychology addresses the harmful influence of dominant culture on mental health, emphasizing community empowerment and the reimagining of existence outside cultural subordination.
The Frantz Fanon Lab for Decolonial Psychology, inspired by Fanon’s ideas, explores sociogeny to understand individual development within broader sociocultural contexts and histories.
Fanon, a psychiatrist and anti-colonial thinker, argues that mental health challenges are deeply rooted in the socio-political oppression experienced by marginalized communities.
