An Explorative Space for Licensed Latinx Therapists

Psychodynamic Consultation Group

This group will create a space for licensed Latinx therapists to discuss clinical material as well as classical and contemporary psychoanalytic articles focusing on how colonial mentality, racism, culture, language, and immigration shape our internal worlds as well as our patients.

Learning Goals:

• Learn how race, class, political, economic and sociocultural factors contribute to patients' suffering.
• Identify their own racial biases and their impact in their work with their patients.
• Describe the relevance of psychodynamic thinking when discussing race, class, political, economic and sociocultural factors.
• Apply basic psychodynamic theoretical tenants and concepts when discussing client material.
