Description:
The kinds of hatreds that analysts have assumed make up part of the unspoken backdrop of Western civilization have now erupted into our daily foreground. This book, consisting of essays from eleven psychoanalysts, responds to that eruption.
Review Quotes:
'This collection important encourages psychoanalysts to acknowledge the privileged contexts in which many of our theories and practices have developed and to work toward a psychoanalysis that recognizes how the realities and inequities of the external world affect the internal worlds of our patients.'
