In a post to the American Psychoanalytic Association Members listserve (12/26/2019), Dorothy Holmes wrote, “For me, the most attractive aspect of our discipline is that we are a radical, progressive profession that seeks liberation from bondage.” With this powerful invocation, Holmes invites us to consider the many ways that psychoanalysis has been exclusionary and has discouraged participation by many groups. Psychoanalysts have held misguided and at times harmful views of racial diversity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We dedicate this issue of JAPA Review of Books to inquiry into the nature of racism and caste, white fragility, and fears of the “not-me.”

在美国精神分析协会会员列表服务 (12/26/2019) 的帖子中，多萝西·福尔摩斯写道：“对我来说，我们学科最吸引人的方面是我们是一个激进的、进步的职业，寻求摆脱束缚。” 福尔摩斯通过这个强有力的呼吁，邀请我们考虑精神分析具有排他性并阻碍许多团体参与的多种方式。精神分析师对种族多样性、性取向和性别认同持有误导性的观点，有时甚至是有害的观点。我们将本期JAPA 书评用于探究种族主义和种姓、白人脆弱性以及对“非我”的恐惧的本质。
