Opis

Drawn from the John Bowlby Memorial Conference, the theme of this book addresses the often hidden and ignored subject of attachment, race, and culture. Can our individual narratives in relation to race, culture, and attachment be unmasked in the therapeutic dyad to reveal our human connectedness? The contributors explore how the conscious and unconscious meanings of therapists' and clients' racial and cultural identities shape their dialogue. Clinical accounts show how this emerges for both therapist and client in their work together.

Kimberlyn Leary, a relational analyst from Boston, discusses the clinical issues in her chapter -You, Me and Them: On Relating to Race-. Farhad Dalal's contribution entitled -Racism: Processes of Detachment, Dehumanisation and Hatred- provides an exploration of the origins and destructiveness of the process of -othering.- Other contributors include Barbara Ashton, Cascia Davis, Zack Eleftheriadou, Irris Singer, and Kate White, who relate how their own experiences of difference enable their clinical work.
