Opis

This is a courageous collection of papers. All contributors have been prepared to go into print about situations in which difference is a significant element in the work and one around which they have felt uneasy and uncertain through finding themselves in uncharted territory. Through painstaking analysis of their experience and that of their patients and clients, each contributor provides the reader with some useful insights and guidelines for future reference as well as some clear and stimulating illustrations of effective thinking in strange and disturbing situations. What makes this thinking effective is the demonstrated ability of all contributors to preserve their analytic functioning whatever the circumstances. Differences matter and specific issues that alert us to difference serve as a reminder that difference is always present in the consulting room.

Contributors include Bernardine Bishop, Prophecy Coles, Marie Conyers, Dorothy Daniell, Sue Gottlieb, Josephine Klein, Steven Mendoza, Richard Morgan-Jones, Elizabeth Reddish, and Jennifer Silverstone.
