Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism

Members of an American Psychoanalytic Community on Training, Practice and Inclusivity

Herausgegeben: Carter, Christopher Jerome; Houck, Tiffany

Beschreibung

Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism is a unique contribution of Jungian analysts and analysts-in-training who provide individual perspectives and approaches to promoting greater inclusivity in analytical theory, training and practice.

This book examines issues of racism through intrapsychic, interpersonal, and archetypal lenses. Drawing from the specificity and ingenuity of Jungian psychoanalysis, the authors provide personal narratives, clinical vignettes, and theoretical perspectives that exemplify ways of comprehending and furthering the work of anti-racism. The editors assert that without deeper exploration of our theories, distinguishing between the theory itself and the theorist's unconscious biases, our clinical paradigms unconsciously align and thus perhaps promote an attitude of white supremacy in psychoanalytic training programs and practices. Without claiming to reflect the official view of any particular psychoanalytic community, it utilizes Jung's analytic paradigm to offer insight into the dynamics of the cultural complex of racism from a depth psychological perspective.

Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism is an important resource for psychoanalytic students, trainees, supervisors, and practitioners, as well as for clinicians, medical professionals, social workers, mental health professionals, sociologists, and anyone interested in the wide impact of the unscientific construct of 'race'.

"Christopher J. Carter and Tiffany Houck-Loomis' wonderful book, Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism, provides a container for our potential encounters with Jung's relations to racialized cultural complexes that appear both in his writings and in analytic training institutes. The contributors find that some of C.G. Jung's writings appear to mirror colonial attitudes, a kind of Social Darwinism, even as Jung's writings offer a theory of individuation as a potential. Reflecting upon Jung, this book's contributors make space and give voice to their encounters with the unconcious, exemplifying ways of working with our own racialized complexes"

Samuel Kimbles, PhD, author of Intergenerational Complexes in Analytical Psychology: The Suffering of Ghosts (Routledge, 2021)

"Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism is a hugely significant and original volume. Based on experiences in Jungian analysis and institutional life, but going beyond that community to embrace all approaches to psychotherapy, it offers a demonstration of how to divest our profession from its role in systemic- and casual- racism. With great frankness, the authors consider individual attitudes, responsibilities, and roles. This is the basis on which they seek to reframe approaches, teachings, and writings on ethnic, cultural and social dimensions of experience in therapy and society"
