Abstract

Decolonizing is not a finite process with a beginning and an end, though there are signs that it is being taken up in that way. It is therefore in danger of being fetishised and incorporated into the very colonial system it sets out to call into question. It is instead an ongoing dialogue, a praxis involving both colonizers and decolonizers. And it is an internal struggle for decolonizers with the colonizing and colonized parts of ourselves. It calls into question all established theories and discourses of group analysis and of Western psychotherapy generally, embedded as they are in Western philosophical traditions and forms of ‘knowledge’. It supports the empowerment of subaltern voices addressing the unity of patriarchy, racism and class exploitation wherever they occur.
非殖民化群体分析:这意味着什么?
非殖民化不是一个有始有终的有限进程,尽管有迹象表明它正在以这种方式进行。因此,它正处于被盲目崇拜和被纳入它所要质疑的殖民体系的危险之中。相反,它是一种持续的对话,一种涉及殖民者和非殖民化者的实践。这是一场非殖民化者与我们自己的殖民和被殖民部分之间的内部斗争。它对群体分析和西方心理治疗的所有既定理论和话语提出了质疑,因为它们植根于西方哲学传统和“知识”形式。它支持赋予底层声音以权力,在任何地方解决父权制、种族主义和阶级剥削的统一问题。
