Finding your own sense of identity and agency can be hard when you're bombarded by forces inside and outside your family telling you who you are. Dr. Gaztambide shares some of his own experience with this, as a multicultural psychology expert.
Dr. Gaztambide is a therapist/clinician as well as an academic at the New School for Social Research, his work focusing on liberation psychology, critical race theory and decolonial perspectives on mental health.
Bio lifted from the New School for Social Research:
"Dr. Gaztambide’s scholarship centers on psychoanalysis and Liberation Psychology, race, class and culture in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Puerto Rican racial identity and colonialism, comparative approaches to psychoanalysis, psychotherapy integration, and the psychology of religion."
Part of a series of interviews with experts on mental health, culture & personality disorders.
