“…To imaginatively embody, and vicariously hold and contain, the trauma of another is the daily task of psychoanalysts. And yet racialized trauma, especially as it pertains to African Americans, is seldom discussed in the psychoanalytic literature, with a few notable exceptions (Fanon 1952; Kovel 1970; Fischer 1971; Wolfenstein 1981, 1991; Holmes 1992, 2006, 2016; Young-Bruehl 1996; Leary 1997, 2012; Thompson 1998; Altman 1995, 2000, 2006; Cushman 2000; Hamer 2002; White 2004; Layton 2006; Moss 2006; Davis 2007; Bonovitz 2005, 2009; Gump 2010, 2017; Akhtar 2012; Winograd 2014; Harris, Kalb, and Klebanoff 2016a,b; Stoute 2017).…”

Both historically and currently, assaults on the black body and mind have been ubiquitous in American society, posing a counterargument to America as a postracial, color-blind society. Yet the collective silence of psychoanalysts on this societal reality limits our ability to explore, teach, and treat the effects, both interpersonal and intrapsychic, of race, racism, racialized trauma, and implicit bias and privilege. This silence, which challenges our relevance as a profession, must be explored in the context of America’s racialized identity as an outgrowth of slavery and institutional racism. Racial identifications that maintain whiteness as a construct privileged over otherness are an obstacle to conducting analytic work. Examples of work with racial tensions and biases illustrate its therapeutic potential. The challenge for us as clinicians is to acknowledge and explore our racial bias, ignorance, blind spots, and privilege, along with identifications with the oppressed and the oppressor, as contributors to our silence.
