Course Description:

Practice Gap/Need and Course Description:

Colleagues do not understand how racial erotics can be used for self-affirmation by those who have felt oppressed. With patients and colleagues, we do not tolerate the excitement of racial erotics, instead shut it down. With patients and colleagues, we do not understand and tolerate rage used for self-affirmation in those who have felt oppressed. We have been overly eager to ignore/dismiss resilience in those traumatized. We have been unwilling to catch our own ethical failures with patients and colleagues.

After attending this presentation, participants will be able to:

1. Examine and better tolerate the excitement of racial erotics when used for self-affirmation, without needing to suppress or repress the feelings.

2. Explain and then predict the expression of rage in individuals who have felt oppressed, including both patients and colleagues, when this rage is used for self-affirmation.
