The Limits of Responsibility: Making Sound Decisions in Uncertain Times 

Suzan Song, MD, PhD

Suzan Song, MD, PhD, is a Harvard- and Stanford-trained psychiatrist and internationally recognized adviser working at the intersection of mental health, humanitarian crises, and public policy. Over more than two decades, her work has spanned clinical care, conflict-affected settings, and systems-level leadership, supporting individuals and institutions operating under sustained strain. Drawing on this experience, Dr. Song brings a grounded perspective on how trauma and prolonged uncertainty shape human behavior, and what helps people and systems recover over time.
