Relational Psychoanalysis: New Voices is especially a forum for new relational voices and new idioms of relational discourse. Here, leading relational theorists explore the cultural, racial, class-conscious, gendered, and even traumatized aspects of the self as pathways to clinical understanding. 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.
The Psyche and Soul book series explores the intersection of psychoanalysis, spirituality and religion. By promoting dialogue, it provides a platform for the vast and expanding interconnections, mutual influences and points of divergence amongst these disciplines. Extending beyond western religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the series includes Eastern religions, contemplative studies, mysticism and philosophy. By bridging gaps, opening the vistas and responding to increasing societal yearnings for more spirituality in psychoanalysis, the book series aims to cross these disciplines, fostering a more fluid interpenetration of ideas.
