Anti-Semitism and Psychiatry Recognition, Prevention, and Interventions

“While there have been hundreds of psychoanalytic writings on anti-Semitism, this volume takes a broad cross-cultural and multicontextual view point. … the papers are accessible, generally free from particular models of clinical thought … . What a joy! It could indeed be used as a text book for a course on understanding and negotiating differences for candidates in many disciplines, including psychoanalysis, and I would highly recommend that usage and its utility for seasoned clinicians.” (Howard H. Covitz and Elkins Park, The American Journal of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 82, 2022)
