An Interview With Solitary Expert Dr. Terry Kupers - #3 | Prisons, Racism, Social Inequity, Isolation

Dr. Kupers is a psychiatrist with a background in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, forensics and social and community psychiatry. He did his residency training at the University of California, Los Angeles Neuropsychiatric Institute and, because of an interest in object relations theory, spent the third year of his residency at the Tavistock Institute in London. He also did a fellowship in social and community psychiatry. Since 1974, he has practiced psychiatry in both the public and private sectors. At Martin Luther King, Jr. Hospital (and Charles Drew Postgraduate Medical School, where he was Assistant Professor) in South Central Los Angeles and the Richmond Community Mental Health Center in Richmond, he served as director or co-director of an outpatient clinic, a psychiatric residency program, and a partial hospitalization program. He left the Richmond Center in 1981, joined the faculty at the Wright Institute, and has continued to teach and to maintain his private practice while consulting to various mental health centers and social rehabilitation programs in the community. His forensic psychiatry experience includes testimony in several large class action litigations concerning jail and prison conditions, sexual abuse, and the quality of mental health services inside correctional facilities. He is a consultant to Human Rights Watch.  Make sure to Like, Share and Subscribe if you enjoyed the video!  You can find us on:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkXYM0v5AtEiS1FV-7nkakQ/  https://www.facebook.com/Little-Brains-Big-Topics-100713241600938/?modal=admin_todo_tour  https://www.instagram.com/littlebrainsbigtopics/  https://twitter.com/big_topics  https://open.spotify.com/show/7fgsElbVdoSJyzMKmr83Dk  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/little-brains-big-topics/id1506431166
