The accounts of three Black authors (also patients and therapists), Matee, Jwili, and Vilakazi, offer a unique opportunity to expand understandings of racial trauma and racial dynamics in psychotherapy, and call for systemic change in psychoanalysis toward racial equity and inclusivity. This commentary elaborates on the issue of racial trauma within our profession, and the persistent disconnection between the experiences of BIPOC and White people in practice and training. I focus on the pervasiveness of racial trauma, the dissociative worlds of the therapist and patient, and how psychotherapy offers an ambivalent, and yet critical space for healing from racial trauma.

Matee，Jwili和Vilakazi这三位黑人作者（也是患者和治疗师）的论述为扩大对心理疗法中种族创伤和种族动态的理解提供了独特的机会，并呼吁对精神分析进行系统的改变，以实现种族平等和包容性。这篇评论阐述了我们职业中的种族创伤问题，以及BIPOC和白人在实践和培训中的经验之间的持续脱节。我关注种族创伤的普遍性，治疗师与患者的分离世界，以及心理疗法如何为种族创伤的治疗提供矛盾的，但又至关重要的空间。
