The author outlines a seminar which is aimed especially at improving the capacity of psychiatrists and medical students to understand the emotional conflicts of their black patients as well as the therapists' own race-related attitudes and behaviors. The course is based on the study of black autobiographical literature, which is illustrated here by use of The Autobiography of Malcolm X. The author shows how the black autobiography can be a powerful catalyst for the discussion of issues such as the symbolic value of black skin color and pervasive black-white distrust.
作者概述了一个研讨会，该研讨会特别旨在提高精神科医生和医学生理解黑人患者情感冲突的能力，以及治疗师自身与种族相关的态度和行为。该课程基于对黑人自传文学的研究，这里以《马尔科姆·X自传》为例进行说明。作者展示了黑人自传如何能够成为讨论诸如黑色皮肤颜色的象征价值以及普遍存在的黑白不信任等问题的有力催化剂。
