Wherever contemporary therapists offer treatment, whether in social
agencies or clinics, in outpatient or inpatient services, or even
in private practice, they are likely to find themselves
increasingly working with people whose histories are characterized
by deprivation and repeated trauma - experiences that have left
them feeling damaged, often short of basic trust in others, and
lacking confidence in themselves. These people have tended to be
seen as beyond the pale for psychoanalytically oriented treatment.
The contributors to this volume would disabuse us of such a
prejudiced opinion. They proceed to demonstrate the enormous value
of psychodynamic perspectives with a varied clientele, many of whom
in the past might have been deemed "untreatable". And they do this
by sharing with readers the stories of their attempts to work with
persons of diverse cultural, ethnic, and racial groups who come
with complaints that point to severe psychopathologies. In each of
the twenty-three stories, we are afforded a glimpse of the two
actors in the drama as they meet and size up one another, negotiate
and renegotiate their agreement to collaborate, work through and
play through the shifting positive and negative transferences and
counter-transferences toward a working relationship, experience
both frustrations and triumphs as they persevere in attempts to
promote healing and growth. These are exciting narratives,
documenting the ethic that underlies the psychoanalytic vision and
the animation that it affords both participants.
