Just off the Press: Seeing in the Dark

 

 

Just off the press:

Seeing in the Dark: Wisdom Works by Black Women in Depth Psychology

 

Seeing in the Dark is a collection of work by an intimate colloquy of Black women depth psychologists who apply the principles of the discipline in a variety of professional and community contexts. The book contributes to a body of depth psychological literature of interest to professionals and students in the field, as well as accessible to a general readership seeking an understanding and appreciation of the archetypal symbols alive in the personal and collective cultural unconscious. The diverse voices put forth in this premier publication affect our individual and social lives in relevant and groundbreaking ways.
 
Dr. Sharon Johnson:  In "Acts of Liberation: Creative Resistance," Dr. Marcella De Veaux utilizes the lens of depth and liberation psychologies to examine the historical period of The Great Migration, the subsequent through-line of Black lived experience of sanctioned terror and violence from the early 1900s to contemporary times, and several organizational models of community-based liberatory practice that have been successful at transforming wounds of oppression into dynamic remembering of our history and culture.
