The Challenges Before Us: A Response to Noha Sadek’s Paper “Racial Justice in Psychoanalytic Communities”

Abstract

ABSTRACT This is an attempt to respond to Sadek’s efforts to examine psychoanalytic training institutions’ efforts to diversify its candidate pools while leaving intact their traditional social, economic, and political structures that are foundationally based on a privileging of whiteness and the lack of recognition of the diversity within not-white populations that the institutes wishes to bring into their training environments.
