In her most recent scholarly contribution, Dr. Weidner critiques the limitations of Western psychiatry when applied to non-Western, war-torn populations. This peer-reviewed article offers a framework for culturally responsive, trauma-informed care in humanitarian settings. Drawing on field data, case studies, and personal experience, she advocates for a shift away from diagnostic rigidity and toward adaptable, dignity-centered models of care. This blog breaks down the key arguments of her publication, its reception within the global health community, and its implications for future policy and practice.
