Joan Berzoff - Inside Out and Outside in: Psychodynamic Clinical Theory and Practice in Contemporary Multicultural Contexts

Praise for Inside Out and Outside In

In this era in which clinical training is experiencing such significant pressure, this is an indispensable, accessible book, connecting contemporary generations of social workers to key aspects of our theoretical and conceptual legacy and knowledge base, while underscoring and honoring our professions historical focus on social justice and intersectionality.

Caroline Rosenthal Gelman, Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, City University of New York

This volumes continuing attention to our inside lives, outside lives, and the interplay of the two is enhanced by its ever-increasing attention to multiple dimensions of diversity. Written for helping professionals, it is the best and most accessible resource I know of for learning about the major lines of psychodynamic thinking from its origins to the present, with case examples from practice throughout.

Jeane W. Anastas, New York University Silver School of Social Work, past president of the National Association of Social Workers

Comprehensive in its breadth of clinical theories, with meaningful critique and application of the cross-cultural dimension, this work is invaluable to clinical training and education. It is not only useful for the beginning clinician but an important reference for the more seasoned professional.

Acknowledgments

This fourth edition of Inside Out and Outside In has been a pleasure to write, largely because of the very enthusiastic responses of so many students and colleagues around the country and at Smith College, and because the three coauthors who have coedited and coauthored it have shared such similar clinical, social, and theoretical sensibilities with each other, and with you, the reader. We have enjoyed the ongoing process of trying to make this work even more biopsychosocial and hope that this edition surpasses the first three in doing so.

The person who deserves my greatest thanks is Lew Cohen, my husband, friend, and co-parent. He has been a steadfast supporter, whose prodigious accomplishments have taken us all over the world. Somehow, from the beginning of this book in 1989 to the present, we have raised two wonderful children, all the while wondering, What did we do right? Those children, Zeke and Jake, have been sources of inspiration, pleasure, and humor, and their childhood experiences are models of development, interwoven into the pages of this book. They have watched their parents develop as academics, as they have become scholars, activists, educators, and joyful, wise, creative, and kind people. Zeke now runs a nonprofit for children at risk and is running for the Baltimore City Council. Jake is a social activist and lead organizer for the Industrial Areas Foundation, started by Saul Alinsky in Baltimore. Both are in love with smart and wonderful women, Libby Longino and Reena Ardeshena, to whom they will be married by the time this edition comes out.

I have been blessed with friendships as well. Jaine Darwin has given her love, her heart, and her undying loyalty to every chapter of my life. Merry Nasser has offered wise counsel and been wonderful ballast. Kathryn Basham has been an intellectual and teaching model whose humor and insight have been invaluable. Bob and Cynthia Shilkret have been like family. Wendy Salkind, my old friend, has, as always, provided me continuity and an abiding sense that from our roots, somehow, we could create good children and good work. Elly Winniger has also restored my own history to me, being the longest-term friend, dating from in utero. Anne Lown and Batbara Simon remain lifelong friends.

My two nieces, Sarah and Kate Shapiro, and my nephew, Zach Shapiro, have taught me so much about loss and about living. I feel like they are also my children. I am indebted to my sisters-in-law, Toby Tider and Felice Grunberger, and my brother-in-law, David Noah Cohen, who have always allowed my wackiness to be a part of their families. Their children have become dear and wonderful nieces, nephews, friends; and my great nieces and nephews contribute invaluably to our lives. I also want to acknowledge four people who are no longer with me but very much within me: Sydney Berzoff, my father; Barbara Shapiro, my sister; Myra Berzoff, my mother; and Vera Cohen, my mother-in-law.

There are many people and institutions to thank as well. Four deans were a part of this book. Ann Hartman, Anita Lightburn, Carolyn Jacobs, and Marianne Yoshioka who created a climate at the Smith College School for Social Work that valued scholarship and productivity and gave me the time to do this work. I thank my colleagues at the School, both resident faculty and adjunct, for their support of this book and help when I was away working on it. And I cannot thank my students enough, both masters and doctoral, who have offered so many insights, case experiences, questions, probes, and ideas.

I also thank Judy Levin for her thoughtful and sensitive copyediting and Melissa Henry for her outstanding organizational and technical skills without which this truly would have been impossible.

Although nineteen years have passed (unimaginably quickly) since this book was first published, my acknowledgments have not changed that much because I am fortunate to have a core group of people who support me in my learning and my work.
