A Marxist therapist treats a Trump ‐supporting client: A tale of politics and psychotherapy
Abstract
When there are politically polarizing events taking place in the world, can it be useful for a therapist to disclose his or her political views within the context of a psychotherapeutic dyad? This paper examines this question through the example of a Marxist therapist working with a politically conservative patient in the polarized political atmosphere following Donald Trump's election to the Presidency of the United States. Also explored are the patient's dynamics that might have made it particularly salient for the therapist to eschew a more neutral stance. The theoretical and technical bases for this disclosure...

“Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right”: Politics and psychotherapy, 2018
Abstract
The election and postelection policies of Donald Trump have seeped into the psychotherapy sessions of many clients, in ways that are somewhat unique but also somewhat reminiscent of the ways that other dramatic social–political events, including 9/11 and the social divisions that were characteristic of the 1960s, were brought into the treatment room. The nine articles within this issue—seven papers from practicing psychotherapists, one from an executive coach, and one empirical paper—suggest strongly that the political events surrounding the election of 2016 have become a significant part of psychotherapeuti...

November 8, 2016: The day I became a White clinician
Abstract
When Donald Trump became president of the United States, I discovered that my clients who identified as Black saw me as a White clinician. With that came a host of nefarious attributions. To preserve therapeutic efficacy, and the genuine relationships with people about whom I cared, I had to distinguish myself from the president; thus, I learned not only how it feels to be seen through the bias of skin color but what I needed to do to identify as a person rather than a White person. “Welcome to my world,” said one African American client.
