Jon Mills: The Spectre of Antisemitism in American Psychoanalysis 

IPhA 2024. Panel Presentation. Antisemitism as Jew-Hatred: A Psychohistorical Enigma
Jon Mills: The Spectre of Antisemitism in American Psychoanalysis
What is this panel about?
With the adoption of the decolonial turn in social justice activism, antisemitism has become fashionable in American psychoanalysis. Racial identity politics has all but ruined the American Psychoanalytic Association. With the establishment of the Holmes Commission for Racial Equality, it not only accused all American psychoanalytic institutions of being systemically racist based in white supremacy, but it also demonized Jews, which forced its Jewish president to resign in disgust over the Commissions’ support of a Hamas apologist. Dr. Lara Sheehi’s cult of personality has led to the organizational capture of APA’s Division of Psychoanalysis that proudly advocates for the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state due to its so-called “apartheid settler-colonialism” and “genocide” of the Palestinian people despite suffering the worst pogrom since the Holocaust. The field has lost its way by condoning Jew-hatred and the glorification of terror under the delusion of liberation politics. It will now have to face the consequences.
