#16 On Race and Racism With Lee Jenkins Part 1

On the latest installment of Discussions on Psychoanalysis, Grégoire Pierre interviews Dr. Lee Jenkins, Training Analyst and Supervisor at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP) in New York City. Dr. Jenkins leads the audience through an abridged chronicle of his upbringing in the south of the United States to his work as a college professor to becoming a psychoanalyst. Dr. Jenkins welcomes us into his personal experiences and weaves a tapestry with stories on race and racism, the impact of the external realities on the internal world of an African American psychoanalyst, and the assumptions and expectations of patients and colleagues. All of this with a nuanced discourse and calm demeanor, a refreshing perspective in our polarized and agitated world.
