Zusatztext "Dr. Fallenbaum approaches her work with African American patients with humility! as well as a deep awareness of their racialized histories and ongoing traumatic stress and her positionality as a white therapist. Her poignant clinical examples make it clear that engaging with history and sociopolitical contexts is essential to psychoanalytic psychotherapy. This book is an outstanding resource with an important call for all therapists to recognize racial injustice and bear witness to racial trauma as necessary steps to healing."Pratyusha Tummala-Narra! PhD! associate professor of counseling! developmental! and educational psychology! Boston College! and author of Psychoanalytic Theory and Cultural Competence in Psychotherapy"African American Patients in Psychotherapy is essential reading for clinicians engaged in racial justice. This rare volume breaks the constricted individualistic paradigm of psychodynamic therapies and calls instead for a practice situated in cultural contexts. The author entwines psychology! history! politics! and social critique with decades of experience working across racial lines with her black patients. The result is a revelatory book that is always compassionate yet challenging to its audience. Readable and complex! this book is always animated by the voices of her patients! whom we follow throughout. This is a must read for clinicians concerned with social justice."Sue Grand!
