The Psychological Residuals of American Slavery for
Blacks and Whites: Implications for Couples and Family Therapy
with Theopia Jackson, PhD and Susan Wilkens, PhD
This presentation is an expansion of Kenneth Hardy’s (1995) landmark work on the psychological residuals of chattel slavery by considering the mutual traumatic implications for Black and White Americans. It can be postulated that contextually, this historical relationship informs contemporary race relations in America. The perspectives of contemporary scholars like Leary (2005) and Steele (1997) will be integrated in this complex discourse. Through transparent conversations and clinical curiosity, we will explore together how experiences of oppression, collective trauma, and unconscious reactions show up in therapy (particularly in the context of differences) and possibly in our personal relationships to the work and to one another.When: Friday, June 4th, 6:30-9pm
