The Psychotherapy Institute welcomes author and educator Dr. Robin DiAngelo to our Fall Symposium for a timely discussion on white fragility and its impact on clinical work. Dr. DiAngelo will be joined by Zonya Johnson, PhD, Beverly Burch, PhD, LCSW, and Lyman Hollins, M.A., to examine the meanings of racial dynamics in the context of the clinical encounter.
Rarely will one find an analysis of racial dynamics so significant, and with so many implications for clinical work, as in DiAngelo's groundbreaking book "White Fragility." Framing white fragility as a "lack of racial stamina," we might conceptualize the notion, psychodynamically, as a learned defense against racial stress, requiring a process of working through in order to move beyond.
CE units available.

She co-designed the City of Seattle's Race & Social Justice Initiative Training and has written "What Does it Mean to be White?: Developing White Racial Literacy" and "White Fragility," which has influenced the national dialogue on race with features in NPR, The New York Times, Colorlines, and more.
