In this era in which clinical training is experiencing such significant pressure, this is an indispensable, accessible book, connecting contemporary generations of social workers to key aspects of our theoretical and conceptual legacy and knowledge base, while underscoring and honoring our profession’s historical focus on social justice and intersectionality.

This volume’s continuing attention to our inside lives, ‘outside’ lives, and the interplay of the two is enhanced by its ever-increasing attention to multiple dimensions of diversity. Written for helping professionals, it is the best and most accessible resource I know of for learning about the major lines of psychodynamic thinking from its origins to the present, with case examples from practice throughout.

Comprehensive in its breadth of clinical theories, with meaningful critique and application of the cross-cultural dimension, this work is invaluable to clinical training and education. It is not only useful for the beginning clinician, but an important reference for the more seasoned professional.
