Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious
demonstrates that psychoanalytic principles can be applied
successfully in disenfranchised Latino populations, refuting the
misguided idea that psychoanalysis is an expensive luxury only for
the wealthy. As opposed to most Latin American countries, where
psychoanalysis is seen as a practice tied to the promotion of
social justice, in the United States psychoanalysis has been viewed
as reserved for the well-to-do, assuming that poor people lack the
"sophistication" that psychoanalysis requires, thus heeding
invisible but no less rigid class boundaries. Challenging such
discrimination, the authors testify to the efficacy of
psychoanalysis in the barrios, upending the unfounded widespread
belief that poor people are so consumed with the pressures of
everyday survival that they only benefit from symptom-focused
interventions. Sharing vivid vignettes of psychoanalytic
treatments, this collection sheds light on the psychological
complexities of life in the barrio that is often marked by poverty,
migration, marginalization, and barriers of language, class, and
race. This interdisciplinary collection features essays by
distinguished international scholars and clinicians. It represents
a unique crossover that will appeal to readers in clinical
practice, social work, counselling, anthropology, psychology,
cultural and Latino studies, queer studies, urban studies, and
sociology.
