"Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Identity and Difference: Navigating the Divide is a unique book. It tackles a topic of great importance to every psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, breathing fresh air and innovative ideas into an area where they are very much needed. In an era of multiculturalism, globalization, and diversity of all kinds, clinicians now, more than ever, have the opportunity and challenge of working to help an unprecedented variety of people. This volume explores the complex challenges these differences create for patients and mental health practitioners. Its fascinating exploration of so many dimensions of this crucial topic will leave readers with an enriched, deepened appreciation of similarities and differences, of bridging possibilities, and valuable insights on how to use this enhanced understanding to work ever more creatively with patients."-Hazel Ipp, Ph.D., Co-Editor in Chief, Psychoanalytic Dialogues; Past President, International Association for Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy.
