Only psychoanalytical interpretation can expose the affects structuring the colonial complex.

Evidence

Therefore, since we know all this, since we know what the archetype of the Senegalese can represent for the Malagasy, the discoveries of Freud are of no use to us here. What must be done is to restore this dream to its proper time, and this time is the period during which eighty thousand natives were killed–that is to say, one of every fifty persons in the population; and to its proper place, and this place is an island of four million people, at the center of which no real relationship can be established, where dissension breaks out in every direction, where the only masters are lies and demagogy. One must concede that in some circumstances the socius is more important than the individual. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 375 (#complicates, via linked claim)

It can never be sufficiently emphasized that psychoanalysis sets as its task the understanding of given behavior patterns–within the specific group represented by the family. When the problem is a neurosis experienced by an adult, the analyst’s task is to uncover in the new psychic structure an analogy with certain infantile elements, a repetition, a duplication of conflicts that owe their origin to the essence of the family constellation. In every case the analyst clings to the concept of the family as a “psychic circumstance and object.” — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 558 (#qualifies, via linked claim)
