Dr. Samah Jabr is a leading Palestinian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, writer, and public intellectual. She is former chair of the Mental Health Unit at the Palestinian Ministry of Health, and for over two decades, she has explored the psychological dimensions of life under occupation — not as an academic exercise, but as a lived reality.

Her new book, Radiance in Pain and Resilience: The Global Reverberation of Palestinian Historical Trauma, brings these ideas into global relief.
