What does it mean to be racialized as invisible, not only to others, but to oneself? And what happens when that invisibility enters the consulting room, whether in the experience of an Asian American clinician or patient? The therapeutic alliance may include psychic and relational dynamics that are easy to overlook: the burden of shame, the pressure to appear "high-functioning," and the quiet negotiation between being seen and remaining hidden. 

Drawing on his collaborative work with psychoanalyst Shinhee Han on racial melancholia, racial dissociation, racial rage, and racial guilt, Dr. David Eng will help us explore how these racialized formations surface in treatment. Join us to consider how the transference and countertransference in your own work shape what becomes speakable and what remains unspoken.
