In this paper I attempt to extend the psychoanalytic conversation about race and ethnicity by discussing the intersubjectivity of race and racial difference. I present clinical material from an interracial treatment in which disclosures about race played an important role in deepening the clinical process. The resulting interactions permitted the patient to admit more of herself into the treatment space. I suggest that contemporary psychoanalytic formulations and multicultural perspectives from outside of psychoanalysis can together create more meaningful conceptualizations which take into account the lived realities of race and the ways in which these may be shaped by individual psychology.
在本文中,我试图通过讨论种族与种族差异的主体间性来扩展关于种族和族裔的精神分析对话。我呈现了一段跨种族治疗的临床素材,其中关于种族的披露在深化临床过程中发挥了重要作用。由此产生的互动让患者能够在治疗空间中更多地展现自我。我认为,当代精神分析理论与精神分析之外的多元文化视角可以共同创造出更有意义的概念,这些概念考虑到了种族的现实生活以及个体心理对其可能产生的塑造方式。
