The book is designed for all mental health professionals and will be very helpful to psychologists seeking to strengthen their background in psychoanalytic theory or treatment.

The Bilingual Mind
This book fills a critical gap in the cross-cultural literature by illuminating the bilingual experience in both its social and clinical contexts. Rafael Javier makes a convincing, empirically founded case for what he terms the bilingual mind, with its own particular approach to cognition, memory, and emotional and social development. Using this framework, he provides answers to important questions about the way bilingualism affects cognition and development.
Assessing Trauma in Forensic Contexts
This book examines the different ways that trauma is involved in the lives of those who interact with the justice system, and how trauma can be exacerbated in legal settings. It includes both victims and perpetrators in providing a perspective on trauma in general, and a framework that will guide those who evaluate and treat individuals in forensic settings. Comprehensive in scope, it covers key areas such as developmental issues, emotions, linguistic and communication difficulties, and special populations such as veterans, immigrants, abused women, incarcerated individuals, and children. The main objective of this book is to bring trauma to the fore in conducting forensic evaluations in order to understand these cases in greater depth and to provide appropriate interventions for a range of problems. “This masterful book, edited by Rafael Art. Javier, Elizabeth Owen and Jemour A. Maddux, is a refreshing, original, and thoughtful response to these needs, demonstrating – beyond any doubt – why lawyers and forensic mental health professionals must be trauma-informed in all of their relevant work.” –Michael L. Perlin, Esq., New York Law School
Understanding Domestic Violence
Understanding Domestic Violence not only highlights and reexamines the different challenges that we continue to face in effectively addressing issues of domestic violence but provides innovated approaches to interventions that are more in keeping with the complex nature of domestic violence. This book provides a comprehensive and multifaceted examination of conditions and factors involved in domestic violence, including psychological, sociocultural, sociopolitical, and socioeconomic issues. The authors look at domestic violence through the trauma lens and intersectionality to develop intervention strategies within that context. Statistics and clinical examples from the field highlight unique culturally-based issues related to domestic violence among Latino, African American, and Arab Muslim communities, issues with woman perpetrators, and violence in the LGBTQ community, to name a few. In the end, Understanding Domestic Violence offers opportunities for the reader to engage in further discussion of the poignant issues discussed in the book, with the invitation to become part of the solution.

Patterns of Desire
This new and important book reformulates the importance of sexuality in psychoanalysis through an integrated theory reflecting contemporary multiculturalism. The disappearance of sex as a drive has been a function of the focus on sex as a relationship. This focus has been a useful antidote to the lack of intersubjectivity that seemed to dominate drive theory, but relational theory has unduly diminished the role of sexual desire. Self-theory has made an attempt to retain a "drive-like" character for sexuality, and in the process made a case for psychic energy, personal agency, and libidinal motivation, but appears to stumble in an excessive emphasis on the power of agency as well as the need to eliminate instinctive causality. This book challenges the prevailing paradigm in psychology in general and psychoanalysis, in particular. That is, the over-reliance on specific theoretical formulations that do not provide adequate opportunities to understand and truly appreciate the dilemma that patients normally bring to a practice.
