This paper examines the impact of America’s racial reckoning on psychoanalytic theory since the murder of George Floyd. It analyzes the claims of two analysts in particular, Dr. Aruna Khilanani and Dr. Donald Moss, both of whom received a lot of adverse publicity for their reflections on “the White unconscious."
Learning Objectives:
1). Analyze the importance of psychoanalysis addressing widespread social injustice, and the motives that underlie it.
2). Summarize the dangers of speculating about the “White unconscious," or indeed the "collective unconscious" of any ethnic group.
3). Discuss alternative ways of framing the issues involved in these debates.
