Yale Psychiatrist Doesn’t Allow Her White Husband to Have White Friends Unless They Meet Her First

Yale Psychiatrist Doesn’t Allow Her White Husband to Have White Friends Unless They Meet Her First

“Before I was a doctor, I was a black person in America, and this white coat does not protect me”

Dr. Amanda Calhoun, the Yale psychiatrist who said last month that it’s acceptable to cut off family members who voted for Trump, is back in the news this week.

The good doctor reportedly does not allow her husband to have white friends unless they have met her first.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

A Saint Louis University graduate, Calhoun began her Yale residency in June 2019, according to her LinkedIn page. One year later, she was the keynote speaker at Yale Medical School’s “White Coats for Black Lives,” a demonstration held in the wake of George Floyd’s death in which “around 300 doctors took a knee in front of the Yale School of Medicine to demonstrate their solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.”

“Before I was a doctor, I was a black person in America, and this white coat does not protect me,” Calhoun told attendees. Her website touts similar rhetoric, including Calhoun’s belief that “all doctors should be activists.”…

Calhoun’s most controversial statements, however, involve her white colleagues, friends, and acquaintances.

Though Calhoun is married to a white man, she is openly hesitant toward Caucasians and gatekeeps her husband’s white acquaintances. In a 2022 X thread, she said she and her husband “left our hometown” because “white neighbors would meet my husband and I together, and then straight up ignore me when I greeted them if I was alone.” As a result, Calhoun wrote, she requires her husband’s white acquaintances to meet her first before befriending them.

“My husband dropped a lot of white friends and acquaintances. He doesn’t befriend white folks now unless they meet me first and respect me.”

Her bio from the Yale Medicine website is very telling:

Amanda Joy Calhoun, MD, MPH is Chief Resident of the Yale Albert J. Solnit Integrated Adult/Child Psychiatry program. She received her BA in Spanish from Yale University and her MD and MPH from Saint Louis University. Amanda J. Calhoun is currently a Viola W. Bernard Social Justice and Health Equity Fellow, a Diversity Equity and Inclusion Emerging Leaders Fellow with American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and an American Medical Association and Satcher Health Leadership Institute Medical Justice in Advocacy Fellow.

Dr. Calhoun has authored over 30 publications, 19 of which she is has first-authored, and has presented abstracts and oral presentations in numerous conferences. Her research focuses on the mental health sequelae of anti-Black racism in children and has been funded by the Yale Child Study Center Pilot Research Award and is the recipient of prestigious National Institute of Health Loan Repayment Program award.

Dr. Calhoun also specializes in the effects of medical anti-Black racism.

Can you imagine someone you love being treated by this woman?

This woman has turned psychiatry into a vehicle for progressive activism. Doesn’t this limit her capacity as a medical doctor and therapist?

Wow. I’m surprised her neutered husband has any friends, of any race or sex.

A classic abusive relationship, with an emotionally controlling partner.

Shocked, shocked I say. Divorce inbound. Or not, A lot of abused partners refuse to leave their partner/spouse.

Let’s modify this quote a bit.
If her husband said this:
“She doesn’t befriend black folks now unless they meet me first and respect me.”
He would be considered a racist controlling misogynists.

“white neighbors would meet my husband and I together, and then straight up ignore me when I greeted them if I was alone.” First I doubt this happened. Second, she is a scary racist and dangerous to be around so most people would avoid her when possible.

    Having been in an interracial relationship/marriage for over twenty years (I’m white, my wife was black), I can say with some confidence that she’s lying about being dissed by many of her husband’s friends. Everyone in my circle was white, and not a single person (family or friends) treated her with anything other than respect. (And we lived in various locations on both coasts.)

    As for her husband, if any of his friends disrespected her and he didn’t unfriend them without prompting from her, then she’s married to the wrong man, or possibly to someone less than a man. Because no real man would tolerate anyone’s disrespect for his wife.

    But she’s a control freak, treating her husband like a child and not allowing him to perform his function on his own.

      Is there a better way to proclaim HEY I WAS RAISED BY LAZY UNEDUCATED HOME AND I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING SPECIAL ahem CONSIDERATION ALL MY LIFE THEREFORE I DO NOT READ

      People who grew up reading don’t make this error.

      People who never bothered to check on the www …. make this error

      Think of it – This doctor cannot speak proper English. A basic, common error. She’s never bothered to take 60 seconds to doublecheck “me” vs. “I” and yet Yale wanted her

      It’s extraordinary

      It’s almost unbelievable.

    It’s a good thing she’s not a black woman in most African countries. She’d have been beaten, raped, and enslaved by now. But as Ann Coulter recently posted, at least she wouldn’t be fat shamed or ignored.

A psychiatrist, eh? Physician, heal thyself. Because you really need it.

    You can verify this yourself the next time you’re with a doctor or a nurse. If you find a way to work it casually into the conversation, you’ll see.

    Good medical students are not drawn to child psychiatry, in general.

    Btw, here’s a reasonably reliable Rule To Live By: Avoid any physician who says things like “This white coat.” Especially a psychiatrist. Double Especially a child psychiatrist. Trust me.

How convenient and consoling it must be to be able to shrug off any criticism or dislike from others as racism and totally unrelated to your own loathsome personality.

You would never have any need to examine your own behavior or motivations, and would never need to modify a thing in your own life because of negative reactions from others.

I don’t actually doubt that neighbors avoid her.

There is a term for ‘men’ like her husband which my impeccable breeding and class won’t allow me to put in print……………

So psychiatrists and psychologists, even family counselors are telling those upset by the election results to get “professional help.” What if the “professional” help agrees with being upset about the election? Most likely 70-90% of psychologists and psychiatrists are upset with the election results. And they are going to help their brethren of all races to not be upset? Honestly? Nope.

psychiatrists still have to grad from medical school …. no mean feat ….

    Sorry to tell you, there are medical school students who are not well prepared. I know of one at a fairly well known medical school who had no understanding of decimals. How he now practices medicine I have no idea. Even in psychiatry he would need to know the difference between 0.25 mg and 0.50 mg.

    First in your class, last in your class, they still call you doctor.

    There must be an analogous saying for affirmative action recipients.

[Calhoun] reportedly does not allow her husband to have white friends unless they have met her first.

This is the sort of garbage that has always existed, but became normalized under the black supremacist Obama. I am a white boy from Texas married to a beautiful black lady from Africa (21 plus years) with a biological son, and it is painful to realize that he will have to grow up in the racist sewer Obama gushed forth.

The decision to elect and re-elect Obama was not the first national gesture of destructive virtue signaling, but it may prove to be the deadliest.

Yet, in this horrible racist country she managed to become a Yale psychiatrist. That’s strange, I’d have thought the white supremacist’s lurking behind every rock would have prevented this and had her out in a cotton field. Try harder, KKK. Your letting some slip through the cracks.

    That’s the thing with narcissists—they’re never the problem, from their point of view. So, she’ll never go to a shrink of her own volition. And if she does, she won’t continue to go to a shrink who suggests to her, “Have you ever considered the possibility that you’re more of a problem than you might prefer to believe?”

    On the other hand, if her employer forces her to see someone, as a condition of continued employment, then she’ll probably raise a fuss, hire a lawyer, perhaps sue for discrimination, etc.
    So the program will probably just try to keep her from talking to the media, and hope they can ride this one out until graduation in June, 2025.

    Will anybody learn anything useful from this sorry episode? My guess is that training programs all over the country will formalize rules about media contacts. They may already have.

    I heard a few decades back that psychiatrists were expected (by professional ethics) to receive regular occasional analysis from another psychiatrist, much as bankers are required (by law) to take three weeks consecutive vacation each year, and for similar reasons. Might have been once true but not anymore, or an urban legend, or whatever, but I did hear it.

    I knew a fishing hole where you could always find such fish. The elevator in the Statehouse, almost certainly the only remaining manually-operated elevator in the entire state. It was run by a slow succession of wizened gnomes, all of them certainly the “challenged” relatives of powerful legislators.

So she says that black doctors shouldn’t have to treat racist patients and gay doctors shouldn’t have to treat “phobic” patients.
Does that mean that patients should be able to refuse black or gay doctors? Just curious how far she’s thought her bigotry through.
Also, controlling your spouse’s friends is a huge red flag on the domestic abuse/violence front.

    No, it means patients should be able to refuse racist or “phobic” doctors.

    Allowing racist or homophobic patients to refuse black or gay doctors would be the equivalent of allowing racist or homophobic doctors to refuse black or gay patients. Which obviously they can’t do.

    Except that patients are in fact entitled to discriminate on the basis of race or whatever, while providers are not.

      You don’t get to control how a potential patient screens their medical care, a possible exception being the emergency room. It’s been going on for a long time.

      Back when Equal Opportunity morphed into Affirmative Action (AA) and the “higher education industry” began selective enrollment to meet “goals” (“quotas” were not allowed) based on race, people began to wonder about which doctors (among other professionals) really passed medical training and which were pushed through because of “goals”. For some the easiest way to do that was to avoid all who might have qualified for AA. Right or wrong, it happened, and still does. AA and its ugly step-child, DEI, have destroyed the fully competent black professional…

It has been said that psychiatrist often enter that field of medicine because they have mental issues. She is living proof of that theory.

Sounds like this psychiatrist is skiting about her domestic violence – she controls who her husband is permitted to see and be friends with. What else does he beg her permission for?

If you’re curious about the publication record of Amanda J. Calhoun just enter “PubMed” in your search engine. Without the quotation marks.

That takes you to the National Library of Medicine.

    My impression from scanning her publication is that the good doctor has a lot in common with:

    Greta Thunberg
    David Hogg
    Alexandria Ocasio Cortez
    And Maximilian Robespierre.

    To wit, lots of accusing of others, lots of condemning of everybody else.

    I do not think it’s going to end well if this woman is permitted to treat patients unsupervised, going forward.

I am a relatively recent medical school graduates and practicing physician, as are over ten in my immediate family (first cousins), not including our spouses who are also docs. None of us have ever taken up the mantle of being “activists” first, but health care professionals first. Where Calhoun gets her ideas stem directly from her ego and narcissism, not from any professional code she was taught. She fits every stereotype of every psychiatrist, though my cousin Aron (a psychiatrist/neurologist) would disagree!

    Psychiatrists as a group are the biggest bunch of charlatans on the planet, and often turn out to be freak shows themselves. Freud sold us lurid tales of mommy sex and made a mint. These are people who sell mumbo jumbo for $200.00hr and up. They’ve put out the incense and dropped the snakes and rattles but it’s the same crap. My daughter (the one raised by her mother) is one of those fountains of bullshit. I appreciate the medical advancements, but the attempts to explain the various colors of humanity and the coddling of people in need of a swift kick and someone to tell them the truth is criminal.
    My girlfriend has worked with psychs over the years, she works for big pharma and trains on the products. She’s got a million freak show stories about psychs. Just remember boys and girls no one has ever been more consistently wrong than the experts, and there’s a reason they call it practicing medicine.
    BTW, there are very few “respected” universities any more, and after COVID only a moron would trust a doctor. Especially since you people knew the government’s line was bull. But many went along with it. I fired my doctor for being too fuckin’ stupid to be my doctor minutes after he admitted that he was aware that the vaccinations were of dubious value, when our sheriff warned us about “3 unexplained deaths within 36 hours of the shot” here in our little county. Generally I find that the more education one has the less one is able to think. Teachers, healthcare workers and college educated women voted in large numbers for an obvious
    dementia patient to run the world in 2020 then a vapid woman they hated 3 1/2 years ago in 2024.

    Good luck and I hope you’re able to revolutionize the profession

I teach psychiatry residents at a well regarded medical school, and am pretty sure that the Director of her residency program has nightmares about this one. She has probably manipulated the system to be unaccountable, and now they are just counting the days until she graduates in a few months. We are seeing more of these types nowadays, and based on previous outcomes I would estimate her chance of successfully establishing a solo private practice at zero to none. People like this are absolutely toxic to partnerships or group practices, and she would probably make that clear withing the first 5 minutes of her job interview. Institutional facilities depend on teamwork, which would require toleration of other cultures, including her triggering white patriarchy, so that is unlikely to work. That pretty much leaves her destined for Academia, provided that she can find a setting desperate enough to overlook her plethora of bright red flags. Too bad for them, but meanwhile I will earnestly pray that she does not plunk her cluelessly narcissistic self down on our doorstep!
