Psychoanalysis and the Unspoken

What do therapists not talk about? What do we ignore/miss/sidestep? What factors-personal, social, political-inform our areas of blindness? This book names and explores what psychoanalytic theory often skips over or simplifies-how, when, and why we fail to uphold the professional ideal.
