relationships created online when they end. Finally, she utilizes
and applies case material to illustrate the grief process and
incorporates the influence of media in the understanding of loss
related to the ending of attachment relationships. This book is

The African American Experience: Psychoanalytic Perspectives edited
by Salman Akhtar brings together the contributions of distinguished
mental health professionals and scholars of humanities to offer a
multifaceted perspective on the transgenerational trauma of
slavery, the hardship of single parent families, the ruthlessness
of anti-black racism, and the crushing burden of poverty and social
disenfranchisement on the African American individual. The book
also sheds light on the resilience of spirit, the dignity of
perseverance, and the glow of talent that is widespread in this
group. It contains penetrating and informative biographical essays
on Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Mohammad Ali, Barack Obama,
and Oprah Winfrey. Such discourse on human greatness is balanced by
the considerations of daily joy and anguish on clinical and
societal levels. This wide-ranging and nuanced volume on the
history, culture, and psychosocial struggles of African American
people fills an important gap in the literature on psychotherapy
and psychoanalysis.
From childhood onwards, humans use their environment's responses to
construct models or schemata to link feelings and impulses with
actions and effects. If the environment during those formative
years is unreliable, frustrating, or violating, the construction of
those internal models can be disrupted and create a disjointed
perception of the world, where violence is the only way to feel
strong or good about oneself. Before and After Violence explores
the complex network of experiences and relationships that
contribute to both the origins and consequences of violence,
starting in the early stages of life and compounding over time. The
contributors to this collection examine the different settings in
which violence takes place, look at the variables that propel its
occurrence in local and global instances, and depict how each can
be traced back to profound feelings of betrayal, helplessness, and
anger that manifest in the physical discharges of aggression
towards a single person or a whole group. Through a psychoanalytic
lens, the contributors analyze and explain violence in its many
forms, delve into its myriad of causes, as well as offer a variety
of solutions that can be applied to various instances of violence
whether it be physical or mental, self-directed or other-directed.

The Rape of Childhood: Development, Clinical, and Sociocultural
Aspects of Childhood Sexual Abuse details the dark realm of
childhood sexual abuse. While lived experience, memory,
subjectivity, and affect cannot be classified into neat categories,
this collection is divided into four core sections-epidemiology,
emotional sequelae, psychoanalytic insight, and ameliorative
strategies-to provide a thorough description of childhood abuse.
The contributors examine the variables that increase a child's
vulnerability to maltreatment, including age, gender, ethnicity,
and socioeconomic factors, and outline the various emotional and
behavioral consequences of childhood sexual abuse. This collection
is essential reading for therapists working to help formerly abused
children to learn how to love, be loved, and care about themselves.
