LOL It sure fits some. Psychoanalyst condemned for paper branding whiteness ‘a malignant, parasitic like condition’

It sure fits some of the haters we see at far-right demos. And, ha ha, his work sure does upset others.

A white psychoanalyst has published a paper in a respected academic journal branding whiteness ‘a malignant, parasitic like condition’ that is ‘incurable’ and triggers ‘perverse appetites,’ it has been revealed.

Dr. Donald Moss published the article titled On Having Whiteness last month in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, the abstract of which is available online.

Dr. Moss, who teaches psychoanalysis at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute and the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, has been slammed online by other psychologists and psychiatrists for the new research.

People took to Twitter to condemn Dr. Moss for the journal article on Wednesday

The meaning of the journal article was not immediately clear, though a preview for it shows the article formatted like a poem or diary entry with the heading ‘Day 1.’

Underneath the heading, Dr. Moss wrote: ‘Did you forget you could kill yourself? What if she slept with this other guy? Yesterday the salad, today the cookie. I live for the constant alarm, the 24/7. Then I switched to Armenian chants. Aren’t you saying that it’s wrong? It’s what I did, and guess still do, sometimes.’

The article continues: ‘My phone gives me a weekly update. Shut the f**k up and give me the baby. All I ask is for one Friday night dinner. We deserved this a long time ago.’

Dr. Moss also addressed ‘racism, homophobia, and misogyny’ in a journal article from 2001, titled: On Hating in the First Person Plural: Thinking Psychoanalytically About Racism, Homophobia, and Misogyny.

In the abstract for that article, Dr. Moss wrote: ‘Effective psychoanalytic work with these hatreds entails resisting the moral pressure to disidentify from them, while bearing the often profound discomfort linked with identifying with them.’

According to the American Psychoanalytic Association, he has studied ‘clinical/theoretical/activisist perspectives’ in psychoanalysis since the 1980s and is a member of a so-called ‘Green Gang’ that targets the ‘natural world’ with ‘hatred.’

So his approach is conscious and formulated. He uses 'hatred' to psychoanalyze. Interesting.
