ABSTRACT

Prejudice may be ineradicable in the way that ambivalence is. In a time when the human costs of prejudice – against, people, nations, cultural preferences – are painfully unavoidable we may need more than ever to be willing to ask ourselves whether, and in what ways, our most passionately held beliefs harbour our prejudices. We cannot overlook the ways in which the prestige of the analytic disciplines may disguise prejudice as some sort of discipline to those very persons it disadvantages. This chapter discusses the unsettling de-personalizing effects of Jungian training and practice on those from non-Western cultures we invite into our fold.
