Suman Fernando is a retired consultant psychiatrist and is an academic. He is widely published and is one of the leading voices in the English speaking world on race and mental health. In this podcast Fernando locates the racism in psychiatry not purely as a critique of the practice of individual professionals but the way in which psychiatry was developed and how it continues to evolve as a discipline, i.e. the underpinning assumptions and approaches. Hári Sewell and Suman Fernando have worked together for years and have developed a strong connection and appreciation of each other.
