This article derives from ethnographies of therapeutic interventions in a support group for prisoners' wives in Israel. The study's main inductive findings reveal that love and the emotion work of prisoners' wives are constructed as the primary site for achieving the clinical objective: modifying the prisoners' wives' spoiled self and encouraging their adoption of a psychological self. The findings reveal a dramatic clash between the therapeutic emotion work of love that the group facilitators proposed and the collectivist emotion work to which the prisoners' wives subscribed. These forms of emotion work are associated with ethnic hierarchies and experiences of stigmatization by the prisoners' wives during the therapeutic sessions. In this context, the article suggests the concept of “therapeutic microaggressions” to describe how interactions in clinical sessions can reinforce inequality.

爱，污名和抵抗：囚犯妻子支持小组中的“治疗性微侵略”

本文源自以色列一个囚犯妻子支持小组中治疗干预的人种志。该研究的主要归纳研究结果表明，囚犯妻子的爱和情感工作被构建为实现临床目标的主要场所：改变囚犯妻子的被宠坏的自我并鼓励他们采用心理自我。这些发现揭示了团体协助者提出的爱的治疗性情感工作与囚犯妻子所认同的集体主义情感工作之间的巨大冲突。这些形式的情感工作与种族等级和囚犯妻子在治疗期间受到侮辱的经历有关。在这种情况下，
