Hosting the likes of Bollas, Castoriadis, Cremerius, Dolto, Fachinelli, Kernberg, Kristeva, Laplanche, Roudinesco, and others, Anthony Molino and Sergio Benvenuto have convened some of the world's most prominent psychoanalysts in what Jeremy Safran calls "a beautifully edited and polished collection, one [that offers] a deepened appreciation of the potential that psychoanalysis has as a vitally alive intellectual discipline and a powerful cultural and political force." In the driving spirit of the Journal of European Psychoanalysis, In Freud's Tracks marks an ongoing celebration of the promise and freedom in any genuine psychoanalytic enterprise.

The field of psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy has tended to fragment into disparate theoretical orientations that often find little in common with each other. This book addresses the question, how can these disparate orientations best be brought together in the service of interpretation.

Although others appear to us to be who they just are, there are complicated unconscious psychological processes that lead us to experience people in ways that we ourselves construct. This book analyzes how four pairs of people, central in each other's lives, create one another. It also demonstrates how each of us is like a theater director.

Drawing from its intellectual resources, the World Psychiatric Association established a multidisciplinary and international workgroup of scholars, clinicians, and researchers to develop the Educational Program on Sexual Health. This volume is a result of this collaboration.

Deadly Therapy explores the implications of a dramaturgical approach to the therapy encounter and uses lessons from the theater to illustrate how to enliven psychotherapy. Every psychotherapy is an interpersonal system in which power and privilege lead to self-serving rules and categories that marginalize aspects of the system that are out of step with the "party line." Performance theory¿encompassing audience engagement, dramaturgy, gender studies, power and privilege dynamics, critical thinking, and multiculturalism¿has much to teach about subverting party lines and empowering the stigmatized and voiceless aspects of therapy and supervisory systems.

How do we position ourselves in relation to our patients? Do we participate as neutral object, as empathetic self-object, or as authentic subject? Do we strive to enhance the patient's knowledge, to provide a corrective experience, or to work at the intimate edge?

Therapeutic Conversations with Queer Youth is for practitioners who seek culturally responsive, socially-just ways of engaging queer youth in conversations that evoke imagination, provoke possibility, and honor the courageous resistance and arresting inventiveness of their young clients. The first therapy book that focuses on work with youth who construct queer identities (as differentiated from essentialized gay or lesbian identities), it's also the first to draw on queer theory and constructionist philosophy to inform practice with queer youth. Case vignettes and reflective exercises suitable for classroom use are provided through the commentary of five queer youth who served as cultural consultants to the research and writing of the book.

In Midrash for Beginners, Rabbi Edwin Goldberg presents English readers with an easily accessible entrance into the fascinating and insightful world of Midrash. Instead of trying to explain or define the Midrash and the midrashic process, Rabbi Goldberg gives beginning students the opportunity to explore and study Midrash themselves by focusing exclusively on the biblical character of Joseph. The story of Joseph is one of the best-known and most-loved tales in the Bible. From his rivalry with his brothers, and his father's apparent favoritism, to his being sold into slavery and rising up to become the second most powerful man in Egypt, Joseph's story contains lessons and symbolism that are as relevant to Jews today as they were to the rabbinic commentators of more than a thousand years ago
