Psychoanalysis in the News

by Molly Merson, MFT

Whiteness on the Couch. Why don’t white therapists talk about whiteness with white patients in our practices? Psychoanalytic therapy encourages talking about everything else but whiteness. This author describes what's difficult and necessary about the clinical relevance of what's already in the room when it comes to whiteness.

Internalised Racism & the Colour of Power. Using object relations theory, defenses theory, and critical race theory, the author describes how whiteness and racism shape and are shaped by social structures, and how individual psyches and relationships are impacted by racism as a sociocultural force that has interpersonal implications.
