ResourcesIn mainstream psychoanalytic education, training, and theory development, topics of race, racism, and other diversities have often been marginalized. In the film Black Psychoanalysts Speak (Winograd, 2014), several psychoanalysts articulate how “thoroughly blocked” white analysts can be when it comes to the issue of race and the ways that repression around racism can render even seasoned analysts mute. As an institution, the PCC community is in a stage of infancy in generating productive understanding and dialogue around topics of racism, cultural diversities, gender diversities, socioeconomic status, able-ism, age-ism, and differences of all kinds. We stand on the shoulders of the psychoanalysts who have invited the larger analytic community to engage in these topics in our clinical work, our teaching, and most importantly, within ourselves. All in an effort to have a greater depth of understanding of all forces, internal and external, that impact the psyche. The PCC Anti-Racism Task Force will update links to organizations within and outside of the psychoanalytic community whose work may inform and strengthen our own. The links below lead to the Diversities Section of the Department of Psychoanalytic Education within the American Psychoanalytic Association. We encourage all members, faculty, and visitors to the website to utilize these reading lists to explore the rich literature on topics including race, ethnicity, religious belief, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, socioeconomic status, and political affinity.
