Recenzje

"While there have been hundreds of psychoanalytic writings on anti-Semitism, this volume takes a broad cross-cultural and multicontextual view point. ... the papers are accessible, generally free from particular models of clinical thought ... . What a joy! It could indeed be used as a text book for a course on understanding and negotiating differences for candidates in many disciplines, including psychoanalysis, and I would highly recommend that usage and its utility for seasoned clinicians." (Howard H. Covitz and Elkins Park, The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 82, 2022)

Blurb

This book is a high-quality, innovative resource that examines the cross-cultural, psychiatric interaction between anti-Seminitism and clinical mental health, thereby filling the gap in the psychiatry literature on this particular stigma. Written by experts in this area with a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds, the text focuses on what psychiatrists need to know to combat the negative mental health impact that increasingly rise out of this particular phenomenon. This approach has never been taken in a clinical text. The book begins by introducing the history of the problem before examining the intra- and interpersonal, psycho-, and social aspects of anti-Semitism in psychiatry.  Chapters cover the key indicators for recognition, treatment of patients who struggle with the stigma, shock, and trauma created by hate toward this community, as well as tactics for prevention and intervention.

Anti-Semitism and Psychiatry is the only non-political, clinical resource on this particular stigma and its negative impact on mental health for psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians, pediatricians, geriatricians, hospital administrators, public health officials, counselors, social workers, and all others.
