Reviews

This book does a remarkable job of elucidating complex psychodynamic theory, making it powerfully relevant to clinical practice in a wide variety of settings. Numerous clinical vignettes offer a thoughtful integration of traditional psychodynamic concepts with a more contemporary understanding of ways in which social dynamics around race, gender and class help shape individual experience. I can think of no other book that offers an introduction to clinical practice as clear, comprehensive and culturally sensitive as that brought to us by the authors of Inside Out and Outside In.

— Marina Kovarsky, part-time faculty, Boston College School for Social Work

This new edition fills a critical void as schools of psychology, counseling and social work turn away from the importance of understanding how unconscious processes motivate behavior as well as how psychosocial/spiritual/structural influences shape our client's internal world. It is an accessible read that elaborates the evolution of complex contemporary psychodynamic theories with rich clinical examples. The updated edition adds timely and vital knowledge in the chapters on Neurobiology, Attachment and Trauma and Psychodynamic Contributions to Understanding Racism. This is a classic textbook that should be required reading for all mental health students and early career clinicians regardless of their settings and focus of treatment.

— Ida Roldán, former academic dean, The Institute for Clinical Social Work

Inside Out and Outside In offers an excellent expansion of psychodynamic understandings of psychopathology with attunement to sociocultural context, and the role of culture in shaping theory and practice. This volume is a must read for anyone interested in contemporary perspectives on psychodynamic psychotherapy.
