Elisa Lacerda-Vandenborn - How Western Psychology Can Rip Indigenous Families Apart

Elisa Lacerda-Vandenborn - How Western Psychology Can Rip Indigenous Families Apart

Elisa Lacerda-Vandenborn is a professor at Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, Canada. She is currently part of several national and international research projects examining education in indigenous communities and the decolonization of mental health. Her writings explore alternate ways of understanding human suffering, challenge the dominant psychiatric worldview, and critique the Euro-American understandings of distress and disease.

Her interests include understanding different ideas of self, especially in indigenous communities, and how our ignorance about these differences harms people we say we are healing.

Lacerda-Vandenborn notes that "Psychology is not a very reflective discipline." This is a conversation about lost indigenous children, psychology's blind spots, and how we can address these concerns with epistemic humility.
