Description: This interactive program will help clinicians contend with bigotry in psychotherapy. We will consider three major ways in which bigotry emerges in the clinical situation: when the patient is being bigoted in the therapy hour; when the patient brings in post-traumatic or otherwise disturbing material related to being targeted by bigotry; and, perhaps the most difficult, when the therapist's own latent bigotry surfaces in the transference/countertransference dynamics. We will discuss aspects of psychoanalytic theory that help to conceptualize such clinical situations, and explore practical strategies for addressing these various manifestations of bigotry in the clinical situation.

Program Level: Introductory

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will be able to identify different ways in which bigotry manifests in the clinical situation.
• Participants will critically analyze theoretical concepts that aid in conceptualizing the role of bigotry in the clinical situation.
• Participants will explore practical strategies for navigating bigoted material that arises in the clinical situation
