Intersectionality and Relational Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives on Race, Gender, and Sexuality

Psychoanalysis in a New Key

by Max Belkin (Contributor), Cleonie White (Contributor)

"Intersectionality and Relational Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives on Race, Gender, and Sexuality examines the links between race, gender, and sexuality through the dual perspectives of relational psychoanalysis and the theory of intersectionality. Combining intersectional theory with relational psychoanalytic thought, the authors introduce a number of thought-provoking clinical vignettes to suggest how adopting an intersectional approach can help us navigate the space between pathology and difference in psychotherapy"--

Broad exploration of intersectionality in relational psychoanalysis (as promised in the title)

This was a helpful consideration of the many ways we “identify”, marginalize, perpetrate, and or control one another Sometimes the language used kept me at a distance from the information trying to be shared but otherwise helped me as a therapist think about the relational space with greater appreciation of the many intersecting factors such as class, sexuality, gender, race, immigration that profoundly impact our ways of being with one another. This points us to the hard work before us to interrogate our ways of being in order to help patients heal and perhaps move our communities into healthier spaces.
