This is the only comprehensive psychoanalytic study of white racism. It integrates historical, social and psychodynamic perspectives to explore Kovel's definition that 'far from being the simple delusion of a bigoted and ignorant minority, racism is a set of beliefs whose structure arises from the deepest levels of our lives - from the fabric of assumptions we make about the world, ourselves and others and from the patterns of fundamental social activities.'

The Radical Spirit: Essays on Psychoanalysis and Society

Includes the essay Personal Writings: From Reich to Marcuse

If you want to know what psychotherapy is, start here. For many people in psychological distress, the route is all too clear - a visit to the general practitioner, anti-depressants and, in severe cases, hospitalization. The distinction between that path and the experience of psychotherapy - especially psychoanalysis - is rarely clear. Nini Herman makes an eloquent plea for a different approach. She takes the reader carefully through the meaning the main figures, the issues and above all, the process of psychotherapy. This is the first book which carefully describes that process in truly accessible terms.

Why Psychotherapy

Herman, Nini

In the 23 years since this book was first published, numerous books along the same lines have appeared. Techniques vary minimally, and very few discoveries or developments have been made in the field of using hypnosis in therapy. The research that has appeared largely confirms what has been known for a very long time, such as its efficacy as an adjunct to chemical analgesia and anesthesia for intrusive and painful surgical procedures. However, during that period, a tremendous and astonishing amount of research has appeared in the fields of neurology (especially brain function), endocrinology, and immunology, as well as their interaction and integration with psychological processes. While hypnotic techniques have been much the same over the years, the underlying and mediating roles of these physical mechanisms in hypnosis are now substantially revealed. Understanding how hypnotic suggestions produce physical effects, and how these physical processes affect what is to be done in hypnosis will illuminate and guide what is attempted in hypnotherapy. The more the therapist bears these mechanisms in mind, the more effective and focused the work will be. This second edition therefore includes a summary account of the most cogent discoveries of the last two decades, and references to some of the most important knowledge acquired in this period in psycho-neuro-endocrino-immunology.

Hypnotherapy: A Practical Handbook

The ideas of Melanie Klein and the post-Kleinians have a growing influence among psychoanalysts yet they are not always easy to grasp. Hinshelwood offers the first comprehensive and wholly accessible exposition of the main concepts in Kleinian psychoanalysis and their more recent development. The book contains 13 main entries on the basic Kleinian concepts - splitting, paranoid-schizoid and depressive positions, projective identification, envy, internal objects - along with numerous entries on subsidiary concepts and the main post-Kleinian writers - Bion, Segal, Rosenfeld, Joseph and Meltzer. The book also has a bibliography of all Kleinian writings to date. It has already been acclaimed 'a tremendous' piece of work' and as 'the state of the art in its own domain'.

A Dictionary of Kleinian Thought

Hinshelwood, R.D.

Group processes are often surprising, bewildering, impenetrable. The author works systematically through the psychoanalytic concepts which bear on what happens in groups. His examples are drawn from many years of experience in therapeutic communities, but are relevant to any sort of group. Author of the highly-praised Dictionary of Kleinian Thought, Hinshelwood draws on the ideas of Jacques, Bion and Menzies Lyth.
