With Culture in Mind (Relational Perspectives Book Series)

With Culture in Mind (Relational Perspectives Book Series)

This is a new kind of anthology. More conversation than collection, it locates the psychic and the social in clinical moments illuminating the analyst's struggle to grasp a patient's internal life as voiced through individual political, social, and material contexts. Each chapter is a single detailed case vignette in which aspects of race, gender, sexual orientation, heritage, ethnicity, classÂ â€“ elements of the sociopolitical matrix of culture â€“ are brought to the fore in the transference-countertransference dimension, demonstrating how they affect the analytic encounter. Additionally, discussions by three senior analysts further deconstruct patients' and analysts' cultural embeddedness as illustrated in each chapter. For the practicing clinician as well as the seasoned academic, thisÂ highly readable and intellectually compellingÂ book clearly demonstrates that culture saturatesÂ subjective experienceÂ â€“ something that all mental health professionals should keep in mind.Â
