Integrating the story of a young Freud’s racial trauma with a novel application of the concept of moral injury has led to a realization and conceptual formulation during the pandemic uprisings of the mental construct of Black Rage as an adaptation to oppression trauma. As formulated here, Black Rage exists in a specific dynamic equilibrium as a compromise formation that is a functional adaptation for oppressed people of color who suffer racial trauma and racial degradation, an adaptation that can be mobilized for the purpose of defense or psychic growth. Black Rage operates as a mental construct in a way analogous to the topographical model, in which mental agencies carry psychic functions. The concept of Black Rage is crucial to constructing a theoretical framework for a psychology of oppression and transgenerational transmission of trauma. Additionally, in the psychoanalytic theory on oppression suggested here, a developmental line is formulated for the adaptive function of Black Rage in promoting resilience in the face of oppression trauma for marginalized people.

将年轻弗洛伊德的种族创伤的故事与道德伤害概念的新颖应用相结合，导致在大流行期间黑人愤怒的心理结构作为对压迫创伤的适应而实现和概念化。如此处所述，Black Rage 作为一种妥协形式存在于一种特定的动态平衡中，这是一种功能性适应，适用于遭受种族创伤和种族退化的受压迫有色人种，这种适应可以为防御或心理成长而动员起来。Black Rage 以类似于地形模型的方式作为一种心理结构运作，其中心理机构承载着心理功能。Black Rage 的概念对于构建压迫心理学和创伤的跨代传递的理论框架至关重要。
