Relational psychoanalysis has revivified psychoanalytic discourse by attesting to the analyst's multidimensional subjectivity and then showing how this subjectivity opens to deeper insights about the experience of analysis. Volume 3 of the Relational Psychoanalysis Book Series enlarges this ongoing project in significant ways. Here, leading relational theorists explore the cultural, racial, class-conscious, gendered, and even traumatized anlagen of the self as pathways to clinical understanding. Relational Psychoanalysis: New Voices is especially a forum for new relational voices and new idioms of relational discourse. Established writers, Muriel Dimen, Sue Grand, and Ruth Stein among them, utilize aspects of their own subjectivity to illuminate heretofore neglected dimensions of cultural experience, of trauma, and of clinical stalemate. A host of new voices applies relational thinking to aspects of race, class, and politics as they emerge in the clinical situation. The contributors to Relational Psychoanalysis: New Voices are boldly unconventional - in their topics, in their modes of discourse, and in their innovative and often courageous uses of self. Collectively, they convey the ever widening scope of the relational sensibility. The "relational turn" keeps turning.

A host of new voices applies relational thinking to aspects of race, class, and politics as they emerge in the clinical situation. A final section of "Experiments in a New Key" highlights nontraditional writing in which authors use innovative narrative techniques and writing styles to broaden our very concept of psychoanalytic writing. Contributions encompass fiction inspired by clinical material; nontraditional uses of the self in theorizing about the Other; the interweaving of analyst and patient narratives when both have lived in the same "wounded place of trauma"; and the working through of relational entanglement with a fictional text.
The contributors to "Relational Psychoanalysis: New Voices" are boldly unconventional - in their topics, in their modes of discourse, in their innovative and often courageous uses of self.

This comprehensive volume traces the history of Lafayette Parish, from its earliest beginnings and the struggle between the Attakapas Indians and the first white settlers, French Canadians, English traders, and French trappers to the conditions in 1959, when this historical work was first published.

America's great research universities are the envy of the world,and none more so than Harvard. Never before has the competition for excellence been fiercer. But while striving to be unsurpassed in the quality of its faculty and students, Universities have forgotten that the fundamental purpose of undergraduate education is to turn young people into adults who will take responsibility for society. In Excellence Without a Soul , Harry Lewis, a Harvard professor for more than thirty years and Dean of Harvard College for eight, draws from his experience to explain how our great universities have abandoned their mission. Harvard is unique it is the richest, oldest, most powerful university in America, and so it has set many standards, for better or worse. Lewis evaluates the failures of this grand institution,from the hot button issue of grade inflation to the recent controversy over Harvard's handling of date rape cases,and makes an impassioned argument for change. The loss of purpose in America's great colleges is not inconsequential. Harvard, Yale, Stanford,these places drive American education, on which so much of our future depends. It is time to ask whether they are doing the job we want them to do.
