: `This welcome book shows up some of the mistaken beliefs about identities  :
: and particularly sexual minorities held in the psychoanalytic profession   :
: ... Ellis and O'Connor's work is lively and well referenced. Unusually, th :
: case examples are diverse, drawn from a variety of class and ethnic        :
: backgrounds. The authors have positioned themselves in such a way that the :
: can think about people's lived experiences as clinicians and also          :
: rigorously use both philosophical and psychoanalytic work to examine the   :
: analytic process. Like Wild Desires and Mistaken Identities it will provok :
: a great deal of thought and discussion.' Lennox K. Thomas, Psychoanalytic  :
: Psychotherapist, British Association of Psychotherapists, Nafsiyat, UK     :
: `This excellent book offers a revision of psychoanalytic theory. In a      :
: compassionate account of individual human experience Ellis and O'Connor    :
: locate their inspiring insights within the context of 20th-century         :
: philosophy. This is an innovative contribution and will appeal to a wide   :
: range of readers including clinicians and theorists, students and          :
: experienced practitioners; indeed all who are interested in                :
: psychoanalysis.' Professor Joy Schaverien, PhD, Jungian Psychoanalyst in   :
: private practice `In this original book Ellis and O'Connor argue for the   :
: critical importance of an encounter between psychoanalytic and contemporar :
: European philosophical texts such as those of Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, and  :
: Foucault, as well as of race and cultural theory. Their sensitive and      :
: engaging case illustrations show how this encounter can help us to generat :
: more nuanced interpretations of an individual's sense of identity and      :
: difference in the analytical relationship. I believe this work will be an  :
: important contribution to the growing integration of psychoanalysis with   :
: the socio-cultural field.' Jessica Benjamin, Psychoanalyst, Professor, New :
: York University Postdoctoral Psychology Program `This is an intellectually :
: brilliant work for it powerfully questions the psychoanalytic tradition    :
: that held philosophical thinking suspect... Ellis and O'Connor emphasize   :
: attentiveness to the singularity of psychic suffering, but also take it as :
: the suffering of an embodied being in the world... This new practice       :
: challenges the deep-seated belief that "we need to know who we really are  :
: in order to be able to live". I hope that it can be translated into all th :
: languages of the world... The task of relating a singular suffering to a   :
: context in the world is a great task, one in which psychoanalysis and      :
: philosophy must always accompany each other.' Zeynep Direk, PhD, Professor :
: of Philosophy, Galatasaray University, Istanbul `This book is an ethically :
: challenging and philosophically adventurous work... Ellis and O'Connor     :
: explore how philosophical questions of time, embodiment, experience and    :
: otherness can be posed in and through psychoanalytic practice. This book i :
: a delightful read.' Sara Ahmed, Professor of Race and Cultural Studies,    :
: Goldsmiths College, London `This revolutionary book represents an          :
: absolutely vital intervention. It works productively, creatively, and      :
: provocatively in the spaces between philosophy and psychoanalysis...       :
: Interdisciplinary in the best way it allows philosophy to confront         :
: psychoanalysis, and it uses psychoanalysis in new, inventive ways as a     :
: result of that encounter.' Tina Chanter, Professor of Philosophy, DePaul   :
: University, Chicago                                                        :
