Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism

<p><em>Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism </em>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.</p><p>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.</p><p><i>Jungian Reflections on Systemic Racism </i>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’.</p>
