Race and Racism in Psychoanalytic Thought: Shaking Our Analytic Frame - Beverly J. Stoute, MD, FABP, DFAPA, DFAACAP (Live)
FRIDAY NIGHT GUEST LECTURE SERIES 2022-23: 2023 Yasmin Roberts Memorial Lecture
Culture and history, as we are beginning to understand in the field of psychoanalysis, are constitutive elements of the unconscious. Cultural propositions about race are internalized and shape the intrapsychic perception of self and other. From this perspective, race is a cultural construct and racism is a cultural process that structures the object relationship with the racial Other in predetermined ways. Over the course of development, we internalize cultural propositions about race and the inclination or disposition to discriminate as a reflection of our psychosocial history of slavery and its legacy of racial discrimination. As clinicians brought up in this racialized society, we become acculturated into our implicit bias. In this radical re-interpretation of Freud’s Totem and Taboo (1913) Freud’s theory of aggression is expanded. This theoretical re-interpretation proposes that a dynamic structure exists in the cultural unconscious. Over generations, this cultural template of destructive sadism, through a repetition compulsion, has resulted in learned silence and in group enactments of racism. The template formulated here elaborates a framework for the psychodynamic understanding of racial enactments. Theoretical ramifications for a revised psychoanalytic conceptualization of Otherness will be discussed including the formulation of a Rage Out-rage paradigm. Case examples will demonstrate the form of the enactments.
