Book Announcement by Cleonie White (USA) and Max Belkin (USA)
This new anthology co-edited by Cleonie White and Max Belkin examines the links between race, gender, and sexuality through the dual perspectives of relational psychoanalysis and the theory of intersectionality.
Published by Routledge in its Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series, the book discusses the ways clinicians and patients inadvertently reproduce experiences of privilege and marginalization in the consulting room. Focusing particularly on the experiences of immigrants, women of color, sex workers, and LGBTQ individuals, the contributing authors – including Sue Grand, Adrienne Harris, Lynne Layton, Avgi Saketopoulou and Pratyusha Tummala-Narra – explore how similarities and differences between the patient’s and analyst’s gender, race, and sexual orientation can be acknowledged, challenged and negotiated. A number of thought-provoking clinical vignettes suggest how adopting an intersectional approach can help us navigate the space between pathology and difference in psychotherapy.
Cleonie White, PhD, is fellow, faculty, and supervisor of psychotherapy at the William Alanson White Institute, adjunct clinical assistant professor at New York University’s Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, and faculty and supervisor at the Stephen Mitchell Center for Relational Studies. Dr. White maintains a private practice in NYC.
