The current racist atrocities in our society, most recently the murder of George Floyd, call upon us as psychoanalytic therapists in the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas (PCC) to turn our awareness of racism into effective action.  We must speak out about the damaging effects of racism on its perpetrators and its victims, and we must rigorously examine our own institutional practices with an openness to identifying and addressing any racism we find in our Center’s teaching, supervision, and clinical practices. We must recognize the study of race as an essential aspect of how we function.  PCC offers this statement to members of our Center and to our general community as an initial public expression of our commitment to address race.    

Here and now we speak on the nature of the problem of racism and on how we must address it.
