Abstract

ABSTRACT With this discussion, the author expands Dennis’s reading of her work with Mrs. A based on a Kleinian lens for projective identification with which Dennis identifies the patient’s hate in the transference. This expansion includes the sociogenic context emphasized by Fanon.

It focuses on how a fear of the Black body constructed through the socially normative beliefs and rituals of White Supremacy underlies the kind of conflict with which this clinical dyad struggles.
