Cultural Pluralism and Psychoanalysis - The Asian and North American Experience (Hardcover)

The influence of culture and sociohistorical change on all aspects of the psyche and on psychoanalytic theory is the missing dimension in psychoanalysis. This dimension is especially relevant to clinicians in the mental health field, whether psychoanalyst, psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker or marriage counsellor to enable them to understand what is at stake in working with those from various Asian cultures in North America and European societies. It is even more relevant than most clinicians realize to working with those from one's own culture. This volume explores the creative dialogue that the major psychoanalysts since Freud have had with the modern Northern European/North American culture of individualism; and tries to resolve major problems that occur when psychoanalysis, with its cultural legacy of individualism, is applied to those from various Asian cultures. The author first examines the theoretical issues involved in developing a multicultural psychoanalysis.
