-
- Gesellschaft und Kultur
Dr Dwight Turner is a psychotherapist, Senior Lecturer and Researcher at Brighton University, and the author of “Intersections of Privilege and Otherness in Counselling and Psychotherapy”. He is one of the world’s leading experts on how privilege, otherness, and intersectionality impact therapeutic practice, and in this conversation we discuss:
— What is intersectionality and why it’s vital for therapists to become aware of
— The concept of otherness, how we often “other” ourselves to fit in socially, and the damaging effect this has on the human psyche
— How dream work can provide illuminating insights for identifying aspects of ourselves we may have othered
— How most of us have some of privilege, why it’s not inherently a bad thing when used in the service of others, and also the situations in which it becomes toxic
And more.
