Race and Culture in our Analytic Worlds: Listening So We Can Begin Conversations
This talk explores how the clinical practice of child and adult psychoanalysis is challenged and transformed when issues of race and difference are taken up as central rather than peripheral concerns.
Meet the Author: Rodrigo Barahona, PsyaD
Dr. Barahona will present his new book Negative Hallucinosis in Wilfred Bion’s Theory of Transformations: On Finding One's Ghost (Routledge, 2025). The progrma will be moderated by Dan Jacobs, MD and the audience will have a chance to ask questions during the Q&A session at the end.
