Practice Gap/Need and Course Description:

This presentation offers a reflection on lifelong efforts to construct a personal coherent narrative of the presenter’s childhood growing up in the segregated South. How did the racial violence and dominant norms of this culture impact self-examination, memory and identity. What was the experience as witness, participant and implicated subject. Intergenerational trauma, shared mourning, normative unconscious processes and the impact of early shame and guilt will serve as a guide for understanding complex dynamics of social reality and psychic life.

After attending this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Identify the role of normative unconscious processes and complex defensive dynamics in the development and maintenance of dominant norms of social control and “Othering”.
2. Identify various ways that unprocessed affect and projection related to intergenerational trauma, social conflict and loss present in treatment and in collective subjective experiences.
