The psychoanalytic community is almost uniformly left-leaning. That homogeneity fosters a sense of moral community and belongingness but limits the theoretical and clinical grasp of issues with powerful emotional valence among right-leaning patients. In addition, the lack of friction within the community can discourage inquiry into the unconscious loyalties and personal experiences that shape political sentiments, both left and right. In ordinary times (anytime besides say, now or the Civil War), that limitation would invite disinterested attention to the process by which political beliefs and actions form within the individual. In the time of Trump, however, that dispassionate remove feels like moral negligence to those on the left. The tension between analysts' clinical and partisan identities therefore, clearly tilts toward the latter.
