Annie Lee Jones explores the shifting meanings of racialized experiences in the psychoanalytic dyad as differences along the lines of caste, class, race, and ethnicity emerge in the treatment.  These differences are not just between people of different races–there are caste, class, and ethnic variations within the blackness or whiteness of analyst and analysand–and they are often projected or denied, providing rich material for exploration.  Their complexity affects the transference-countertransference matrix in multiple ways.
