Javeed Sukhera, MD, PhD, associate clinical professor of psychiatry, is co-author of a chapter in the book “Islamophobia and Psychiatry: Recognition, Prevention and Treatment.”
The chapter, "From Hatred to Healing," explores how discrimination and prejudice function as forms of trauma, with measurable consequences for mental and physical health.
Sukhera and co-author Dr. Mary Lynn Dell examine how healing-centered care, an approach that goes beyond symptom management to address root causes, can support recovery for patients and communities affected by identity-based discrimination.
