ForwardFebruary 1, 2024: Culturally informed psychoanalytic psychotherapy in a polarized world
Culturally informed psychotherapy in a polarized world
Usha Tummala-Narra, Ph.D.
This presentation will explore psychoanalytic understandings of sociocultural context in psychotherapy, focusing on a framework for the systematic inclusion of cultural competence as a core emphasis of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. In applying this framework, there will be a special emphasis on exploring identity among immigrants and the 2ndgeneration in contemporary U.S. society, amidst sociopolitical polarization. This presentation provides a framework for the systematic inclusion of sociocultural issues as core to psychodynamic theory and practice, with the aim of improving access to culturally informed mental health care.
Target Audience
This program is intended for: Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Fellows, Residents, Interns and Nurses
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the activity, participants will be able to:
1.Describe ways in which the sociocultural context of the client and the therapist influence conceptualizations of health and pathology in development.
2. Explain how psychoanalytic theory informs and deepens an understanding of sociocultural context in psychotherapy.
3. Identify how experiences of privilege and oppression contribute to complex and sometimes contradictory cultural identifications, and challenging dynamics within the therapeutic relationship
