Hispanic Heritage Series: Psychodynamic Intersubjectivity and Intersectionality with Marginalized Clients
Manage episode 379413696 series 3519350
Psychodynamic therapies are evidence-based treatments, yet studies on these treatments when working with people of color are rare. As the field of psychodynamic therapy has evolved, there are more efforts to incorporate multicultural competencies into the theory. In fact, emphasis is placed on the relationship between therapist and client, recognizing forces unseen by the client can influence the interaction, understanding how history shapes current functioning, and so in the case of clients of color, imagine the profound implications when both therapist and client can name and discuss openly unconscious, internalized racist beliefs, and the oppressive systems which reinforce it.
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Geneva Reynaga Abiko, who is the owner of Borderlands Therapy Collaborative, and draws from a psychodynamic, intersectional, mujerista perspective in working with people of color.
