ABSTRACT
The clinical work of Jungian psychology involves from its earliest days of psychoanalytical explorations by Freud and Jung the importance of the Transference. This aspect of clinical work is significant because it creates and determines the nature of the clinical therapeutic relationship and is an influencing factor in the therapeutic alliance. The nature of clinical practice requires a recognition of bonding, re-parenting and healing work that all evolve from the nature of the Transference. The racial complex is explored as a part of clinical practice that has not been discussed within Jungian psychology practice literature. The author introduces this complex as an aspect of clinical work as is any other complex. Its importance is relevant due to racism and other related societal factors that influence the individual—whether as clinician or patient/analysand.
