The Emergence of Racism in Group Analysis

Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture

Group analysis is particularly concerned with the permeation of the individual by the dynamics of her' social context. In a racist society the dynamics of racism will be internalized by all its members. We should expect this dynamic to emerge in an analytic group and should be prepared to analyse it. An example of the emergence of racism in an analytic group reveals the importance of group composition; the relationship between cultural difference and political and cultural domination; the responsibilities and self-awareness of the group conductor, and the psychodynamics of the victim-persecutor scenario.

Key Words: racism • oppression • victim • colonialism • culture
