Treachery and Innocence Psychology and Racial Difference in South Africa

"...A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF TEACHING TOOL THAT SHOULD BE USED IN UNIVERSITY COURSES TO CRITIQUE PSYCHOLOGY & ITS PRESENT TRAINING. WE NEED MORE OF THIS KIND OF BOOK."--AFRICAN STUDIES REVIEW. In this series of provocative, iconoclastic, & highly readable essays, a renowned psychologist shares the insights he has gained after 20 years of research & clinical work within the townships & legal system of South Africa. Amidst ruminations on Freud, Foucault, & others, he delves into the problems of the black psyche & their racial prefiguration. The many & diverse themes of the book--violence, psychobiography, the politics of mental health- -all underscore the inability of Western psychotherapy to treat conditions peculiar to South Africa.Manganyi, N.
