Race in Psychoanalysis analyzes the often-unrecognized racism in
psychoanalysis by examining how the colonialist discourse of late
nineteenth-century anthropology made its way into Freud's
foundational texts, where it has remained and continues to exert a
hidden influence. Recent racial violence, particularly in the US,
has made many realize that academic and professional disciplines,
as well as social and political institutions, need to be
re-examined for the racial biases they may contain. Psychoanalysis
is no exception. When Freud applied his insights to the history of
the psyche and of civilization, he made liberal use of the
anthropology of his time, which was steeped in colonial, racist
thought. Although it has often been assumed that this usage was
confined to his non-clinical works, this book argues that through
the pivotal concept of "primitivity," it fed back into his theories
of the psyche and of clinical technique as well. Celia Brickman
examines how the discourse concerning the presumed primitivity of
colonized and enslaved peoples contributed to psychoanalytic
understandings of self and raced other. She shows how
psychoanalytic constructions of race and gender are related, and
how Freud's attitudes towards primitivity were related to the
anti-Semitism of his time. All of this is demonstrated to be part
of the modernist aim of psychoanalysis, which seeks to create a
modern subjectivity through a renegotiation of the past. Finally,
the book shows how all of this can affect both clinician and
patient within the contemporary clinical encounter. Race in
Psychoanalysis is a pivotal work of significance for scholars,
practitioners and students of psychoanalysis, psychologists,
clinical social workers, and other clinicians whose work is
informed by psychoanalytic insights, as well as those engaged in
critical race and postcolonial studies.

This textbook teaches the basics of French grammar, reinforcing its
lessons with exercises and key practice translations. A systematic
guide, the volume is a critical companion for university-level
students learning to read and translate written French into
English; for graduate scholars learning to do research in French or
prepping for proficiency exams; and for any interested readers who
want to improve their facility with the French language. In
addition, A Short Course in Reading French exposes readers to a
broad range of French texts from the humanities and social
sciences, including writings by distinguished francophone authors
from around the world. The book begins with French pronunciation
and cognates and moves through nouns, articles, and prepositions;
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; a graduated presentation of all the
indicative and subjunctive tenses; object, relative, and other
pronouns; the passive voice; common idiomatic constructions; and
other fundamental building blocks of the French language. Chapters
contain translation passages from such authors as Pascal,
Montesquieu, Proust, Sartre, Bourdieu, Senghor, Cesaire, de
Certeau, de Beauvoir, Barthes, and Kristeva. Drawn from more than
two decades of experience teaching French to students from academic
and nonacademic backgrounds, Celia Brickman's clear, accessible,
and time-tested format enables even beginners to develop a
sophisticated grasp of the language and become adept readers of
French. There is an answer key for translation exercises and for
non-copyrighted translation passages available to professors and
teachers who have assigned this title in a class. Please provide
your name, title, institution, and number of students in the course

In The Skillful Soul of the Psychotherapist, master clinicians
reflect on their core spiritual values, beliefs, experiences, and
the role these play in psychotherapy. Reflections by Nancy
McWilliams,David Wallin, and Salman Akhtar are responded to by
scholars representing a substantial range of psychological,
spiritual, religious, and theological perspectives. The ensuing
scholarly, clinical dialogue advances the idea that a
psychotherapist's formative spiritual experiences and core values
both deeply influence and are simultaneously influenced by the
therapeutic relationships and healing work that constitute his or
her clinical practice. Through this addressing of the interplay
between these master clinicians' inner wisdom and the therapeutic
process, readers will see demonstrated firsthand the vital
importance of the psychotherapist's spiritual life for creative and
effective clinical work. This volume will also provide the
opportunity for both experienced and training psychotherapists to
enrich their own clinical practice via a more robust engagement in
the points of contact and resonance that exist between their work
with clients and their own unique spiritual lives and experiences.
