Description
Summary:This integrative case study centers on the intersection of the continuing psychological consequences of colonialism as they apply to the dynamic between males of predominantly European descent and females of Asian descent, a fetish colloquially known as “yellow fever.” A particular focus is placed upon the work with Jane, who having been exoticized and thereby objectified, reported depression and “relationship problems.” Applied treatment methods include tenets of relational psychoanalysis, feminist therapy, and Relational-Cultural Therapy. A “cure” is found through the practice of lament, which is communal and orients one to their apprehension of a present and listening God.
