This essay focuses on Freud's landmark case study of “The Wolfman,” in an attempt to reveal how white cultural imperatives function in psychoanalysis in the form of both universalizing diagnostic tendencies and hegemony in the analyst-patient relation. It also identifies in psychoanalysis the potential for a therapeutic discourse that is attuned to both cultural difference and the ways in which colonial racialization have historically contributed to its suppression.
