Black As You See Me

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 1 –20

[When in 1983 Delores Williams asked her question “How (or can) Feminism be ‘colorized’ so that it also speaks the black women’s tongue, so that it tells the very truth of the black woman’s historical existence in North America?,”1 she brought to the foreground black women’s experience as the...

Black Women’s Experience of Religion, Race, and Gender

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 23 –39

[In the early stages of womanist theology, taking black women’s experience as the basis for theological, sociological, or other research was new and devalued. In many respects it is still devalued, but the terms of assessment have shifted. Now detractors wonder if womanist theology is dead or...

The Current Shape of Womanist Practical Theology

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 41 –60

[Womanist pastoral theology developed out of womanist theology and ethics and from reflection on the practices of care and counseling. Womanist theologians’ concerns differ significantly from the concerns of those engaged in the contemporary discourse on practical theology—where questions such...

Suffering and Pain, Longing and Love: The Embedded Psychology in Womanist Perspectives

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 61 –77

[When we begin to make black women’s lives visible, we immediately confront the complexity and diversity of their social locations, relational configurations, and the dynamics of their psyches.

Black Psychoanalysis and Black Feminist Psychoanalytic Literary Criticism: Resources toward a Critical Appropriation of Psychoanalysis

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 81 –110

[In 1998 when I saw my first patient for psychoanalysis, as a candidate at the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis, I was determined to take the “rules” of psychoanalysis seriously—especially as it regards establishing a neutral psychoanalytic space unencumbered with “myself and my stuff.” I...

Black Women and Self Psychology: Toward a Usable Dialogue

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 111 –125

[From the beginning, my introduction to self psychology was steeped in questions related to race, gender, and sexuality. The Center for Religion and Psychotherapy of Chicago, where I trained, offered a program specializing in the work of Heinz Kohut and the theory he developed, known as self...

Black Embodiment and Religious Experience after Trauma: A Womanist Self Psychological Perspective on Mourning the Loss of Cultural Selfobjects

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 127 –141

[As a clinician it is not unusual for me, at least in my work, to encounter a woman who has been abused, and for the abuse to have had prolonged negative intrapsychic and relational consequences. In the case analysis that follows, we will see how abusive experiences reach deep into the psyche and...

A Dark Body of Goodness Created in the Image of God: Navigating Sexuality, Race, and Gender, Alone and Together

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 143 –170

[Each year that I prepare to teach my course “Experiences of the Body and Pastoral Ministry,” I wrestle with how to contextualize the way we speak about and understand the complexities of black women’s experiences of embodiment. Some years ago, I reported the following case vignette to them: An...

Black and Beautiful: Reading the “Song of Songs”

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 173 –186

[Several years ago, during a worship service I attended at a synagogue, the rabbi asked the children, “What in the world reminds you of G-d?” Children as young as five and as old as twelve excitedly cited all forms of creation: trees, the oceans, their parents, grass, siblings, friends, and...

Final Thoughts

Sheppard, Phillis Isabella

Pages: 187 –195

[Embracing the black and beautiful self is demanding, transformative, and rewarding. Is this not how Scripture works in our lives? The black women we have encountered in this book, the biblical one and those who have read her story, direct us to think about what it means to be human, a good...
