"Brickman has done psychoanalysis a powerful service here."
Stephen Frosh, Psychoanalytic Review
 
"An intriguing study…highly original and intellectually exciting."
Gilbert Herdt, San Francisco State University
 
“Brickman has put together in a new way the often contradictory puzzle that we know as
psychoanalysis....This book will change the way we read Freud."
Diane Jonte-Pace, Religious Studies Review
 
“serves… as an imaginative blueprint for doing similar studies of race and psychiatric thought…
In the way she conceptualizes this terrain, and in the observations she offers, she is certainly
without parallel.”
Andrew Fearnley, Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences
 
“one of the finest critical pieces on psychoanalysis that I have read…[an] important and
beautifully written book.”
Michael Oppenheim, Concordia University, Montreal.
 
"Very useful, clear, and thorough… Brickman has provided a good compass for this moment of
psychoanalysis in search of its future."
Elisabeth Young-Bruehl, Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research
 
"a major contribution to social workers who are interested in retaining Freud's ideas while reworking the sociocultural biases that underpin them." Elizabeth Kita, Journal of Clinical Social Work.
