'Kudos to the editors and all the authors of this timely and important book regarding intersectionality and group analysis. Each chapter examines their experiences of the constraints and restraints of the tripartite matrix in their training and colleagueship within the profession. Readers are asked to consider how their own identities and internalized privileges inform how they conduct their groups. A bold and courageous invitation!' Richard Beck, LCSW, BCD, CGP, AGPA-F, Immediate Past President, IAGP; Senior Lecturer, Columbia University School of Social Work; Honorary Member, Italian Society for Psychosomatic Medicine; Lecturer in Social Work in Psychiatry (Voluntary) Weill Cornell Medicine 'This exciting and innovative volume highlights the vitality of new currents in group analytic thinking and practice that speak to urgent sociopolitical agendas for change. Compelling and thought-provoking, its eight innovative, scholarly but above all practice-focused chapters, invite and inspire engagement and activism that both consolidates the core contributions of group analysis and also transforms it. This will be a core text for all trainees in psychotherapy and counselling.' Professor Erica Burman, Professor of Education, Manchester Institute of Education, UK 'Intersectionality and Group Analysis is an inspiring, creative and innovative paradigm-change to decolonize group analytic theory and practice and to allow for group polyphonic spaces. It promises to enable anti-racist therapeutic practice in clinics and in trainings. A highly relevant and much needed impulse for the advancement of group analysis in a globalized world.' Dr Elisabeth Rohr, Professor, Intercultural Education, Philipps-University Marburg, Germany (until 2013); group analytical trainer, consultant and supervisor in national and international fields of work 'The authors together flesh out intersectionality as a necessarily embodied and collective approach to interpreting and changing the world, making the book an invaluable conceptual resource and call to action for group analysts, for every analyst.' Professor Ian Parker, Secretary, Manchester Psychoanalytic Matrix, UK 'Finally! Group analysis, in theory and practice, is making space for people with historically marginalized identities. This important network of authors has unapologetically and beautifully captured the simultaneously painful and generative experience of being the Other, not just subjectively but also structurally. They argue that until the many forms of structural oppression are accounted for and centred in our work, psychoanalysis and psychotherapy will continue to be for a select privileged group. Understanding intersectionality is at the heart of offering ethical, humane, compassionate, and skilful care for everyone.'
