Dr. Amos N. Wilson, Ph.D. (1941-1995), a pioneering Black psychiatrist, was a teacher and friend of Wisdom Projects' Executive Director and his books and thought deeply influence the organization's work. Dr. Wilsons research engages psychological and psychiatric dimensions of Black people's mental health in ways that mainstream psychology and psychiatry often fail to do in a consistently culturally-affinitive manner.
