White Privilege: Psychoanalytic Perspectives - Neil Altman, PhD (Recorded)
In this lecture Neil Altman, PhD, will look at race and the critical role it plays in society and in clinical practice. Much of the effort going into racial consciousness-raising for people who identify as white rests on the notion of unearned “white privilege.” Altman looks deeply into this idea, along with associated concepts of guilt, power, and identity. He suggests that there are embedded assumptions therein that perpetuate the very racially prejudicial ways of thinking that are purportedly being dismantled.
