ABSTRACT
This chapter explores insights from Fanon’s critical reflection on psychiatry in conversation with some of Barnaby Barratt’s, Elizabeth Corpt’s, Dorothy Holmes, and Donald Moss’s reflections of socially sensitive clinical psychoanalytical therapy and argues for the importance of a critical, sociogenetic critique of psychoanalysis, which also involves a psychoanalysis of psychoanalysis, and the value of addressing the importance of social relations in the study of forms of suffering occasioned from dehumanizing practices of societies marked by racism, sexism, and other forms of dehumanization. The importance of psychoanalysis resisting orthodoxy is among the concluding recommendations.
