Abstract

This article presents the contributions from the phenomenology of race and racism to the decolonization of psychotherapeutic attention in its interface with multicultural therapy and the education of young therapists. Guided by a critical phenomenology, first section seeks to demonstrate how a critical phenomenology can provide resources for an analysis of the phenomena of race and racism. The second section, in turn, analyzes the confrontation between multicultural psychotherapy and phenomenological-existential philosophy, seeking to draw the main consequences for the decolonization of psychotherapeutic attention. Finally, the third section proposes a way to strategically conduct the decolonization of attention  for training therapists through formative reflection.
