African American Jungian Analysts: On Culture, Clinical Training/ Practice and Racism
Copyright :


When treating a client from a different racial background than your own, are you confident in your understanding of the cultural and societal issues they may be facing?
Treating someone with a different racial background than your own comes with unique challenges–lack of knowledge of cultural issues, personal biases you may not even be aware of, and hesitancy on the part of you or your client can all get in the way of treatment.
 In this incredibly moving and thought-provoking seminar, top African-American Jungian analysts Fanny Brewster, Alan Vaughan and more illuminate key and pressing issues in US politics, law, culture and therapy as well as provide you with a rich history of racial issues in the UK and the US to help broaden your understanding of the issues your clients are facing and close the racial gap between client and therapist.
The wealth of information provided in this necessary conversation about race will help you create a therapeutic environment of empathy, compassion and understanding in your practice that will put your clients at ease and facilitate greater healing. 

This digital recording of the African American Jungian Analysts: On Culture, Clinical Training/Practice and Racism conference, was organised by the Confederation for Analytical Psychology (CAP) with the support of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN).
