Gifts from New Books in Psychoanalysis

The library has just received a gift of two books from New Books in Psychoanalysis :

In Psychotic Temptation, by Liliane Abensour (Routledge, 2013), the author "...proposes the idea of a temptation towards psychosis rather than a regression, as a response to the hatred or denial of the subject's origins."  (RC512/.A2413/2013)

Mental Slavery: Psychoanalytic Studies of Caribbean People by Barbara Fletchman Smith (Karnac, 2000) is a study in transcultural psychoanalysis, examining "...the complex historical and psychological effects of slavery across generations of Caribbean people." (RC455.4/.E8/.S557/2000)

Both books are available on the library shelves.
