Psychoanalysis in a New Key
Intersectionality and Relational Psychoanalysis: New Perspectives on Race, Gender, and Sexuality
Intersectionality and Relational 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.
This anthology discusses the ways in which clinicians and patients inadvertently reproduce experiences of privilege and marginalization in the consulting room. Focusing particularly on the experiences of immigrants, women of color, sex workers, and LGBTQ individuals, the contributing authors explore how similarities and differences between the patient's and analyst's gender, race, and sexual orientation can be acknowledged, challenged, and negotiated. 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.
By bringing together these new psychoanalytically-informed perspectives on clinical work with minority and marginalized individuals, Intersectionality and Relational Psychoanalysis makes an important contribution to psychoanalysis, psychology, and social work.

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.
