This Talk explores some possible contributions analytical psychology may make to
theorising racial hybridity. Already a ‘hybrid psychology’, Lu suggests that analytical
psychology is particularly well-positioned to speak to the specific experiences and challenges
posed by multiraciality. In particular, Lu critically reflects on his hopes, fears,
and fantasies that have arisen with the birth of his multiracial children, which may
in turn act as a springboard to greater depth psychological reflections on the unique
and equally ‘typical’ experience of raising mixed-raced children.  This paper critically
assesses possible ways in which racial hybridity may be theorised from a Jungian perspective
and argues that a Post-Jungian approach must reflect the flexibility and fluidity
of hybridity itself.
Dr Lu is a Senior Lecturer, and upcoming Chair of the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies, atÂ
University of Essex, UK
