The Racial Justice Initiative (RJI) at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis has commissioned a long-term research project dedicated to tracing the history of race and racial representation in The Psychoanalytic Review. With the support of Princeton University's Graduate School, the project is presently evolving into an interdisciplinary collaboration.
Since its founding in 1913, The Review has been engaged with the question of race across a variety of frames. This research explores the varied landscape by reflecting on the ways race bore upon the history of The Review, its editors and contributors, and its historical and geopolitical context. Each research step will take a group of volumes from The Review's archives and provide their contextualization through the critical analyses of texts, biographical profiles of significant contributors, and other forms of historiographical archaeology.
The following two articles focus on the period between 1913 and 1917. The first considers five contributions on the topics of race and psychoanalysis, insisting on forms of non-segregative thinking in the clinic and beyond; the second addresses the historical context in which The Review's co-founder, William Alanson White, and his staff at Saint Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, played a role in fabricating a distinct Black psyche.
