April 30, 2021 — The Cumulative Trauma of Racism
[40 pages]
38 pages
Holmes invites the reader to think about internalized racism and classism as toxic introjects that impede or otherwise compromise success in individuals, leading to success neurosis and impaired self-esteem.
Hamer challenges the old notion of race as a mere symbol of deeper intrapsychic material and asks the reader to think fluidly about the myriad possible meanings of race in the treatment relationship. This requires a much more thorough consideration of the realities of race than is custom of most white clinicians.
