Neil helps multi-national and multi-cultural organizations orient staff and management to cross-cultural understandings and misunderstandings that may affect the functioning of the organization. I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, clinician and author. In my clinical work, I see children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My recent writing has been in the area of racial, social class, and cultural differences and similarities as they play out in interpersonal interactions.
I have studied such interactions intensively in the relationships between therapists and patients; I am interested in extending the understanding I have gained to interactions in other contexts. These include community-based clinical work, as well as interactions in multi-national and cross-cultural businesses and NGO's (not for profits). I offer courses on a variety of topics for which social workers may obtain continuing education credit.

New book: "White Privilege".
This book is organized around two basic ideas: first, that "privilege", as in "white privilege", is often conflated with economic and political privilege, as if there are not other forms of privilege (e.g. the privilege of being part of a community) that are at least as important.
The fact that we use the word "privilege" unmodified in this way in itself reveals the unreflective materialism and orientation toward political dominance and submission that is a core part of "whiteness".

An exploration of the meanings embedded in the concept of "white privilege" at this moment in the racial history of the United States.

The fantasy of whiteness draws one into a commitment to amass and maintain power in the sense of mastery and dominance.
