For over two decades, Palestinian psychiatrist Samah Jabr has critiqued the inability of these models to analyse, diagnose, and offer care within the permanent state of violence endured by Palestinians. Simultaneously, she insists on psychiatry’s “humanizing” task, calling for its radical redefinition. In a context structured by oppression, she argues that clinical “neutrality” is not only impossible but complicit. Instead, she roots her practice in Sumud (steadfastness), framing therapy as an act that supports dignity, fights helplessness, and strengthens collective bonds.
