Racism, the psyche and moving on - A conversation with Adam Phillips

This conversation explores psychoanalysis as a way of thinking about what we find hardest to think about. It asks how the discipline's European, middle-class origins still shape who feels therapy is for, and what contemporary training prepares clinicians to see—or miss—particularly around collective and racialized trauma. We discuss the psychic dynamics of race today: defensiveness, guilt, disavowal. What troubled Phillips about Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility? And what might psychoanalytic thinking offer toward more honest conversations across racial difference—without moralizing? Finally, we ask what it would mean for psychoanalysis to listen differently, to lives and histories it didn't originally imagine addressing. Does generosity do something that critique alone cannot?
