It also explores what has remained constant even as psychoanalysis has splintered into many schools of thought. Rather than rejecting individualistic thinking entirely, Altman investigates how a mix of individual- and community-focused work has been effective in various international settings and the role that the arts can play in informing psychoanalytic practice. In pursuit of the new doors that open as psychoanalysis expands in relational directions, this book considers a range of clinical programs that have recently evolved in non-traditional contexts: in schools, in the streets, and in religious and spiritual communities. With access to new and non-traditional modes of understanding and intervention, new possibilities become thinkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith international examples of successful community work and drawing on Altman's extensive clinical experience, this is key reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists wanting to explore community practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeil Altman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Analyst in the Inner City: Race, Class, and Culture through a Psychoanalytic Lens, White Privilege: Psychoanalytic Perspectives, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePsychoanalysis in an Age of Accelerating Cultural Change: Spiritual Globalization\u003c\/em\u003e.
