Hi James!

This is Jari Kokkinen intervening with the discussion on therapeutic
discourse. Does the book you suggested, as well as Kathleen Ferrara's
work on therapeutic touch the isuue of race in any way? If it does I
would be more than interested. My thesis is about discourses of race
and love in Baldwin's 1960s drama Blues for Mister Charlie, where the
latter appears very therapeutic in terms of healing the traumas of
racism and stepping beyond racial conflict.

Thanks,

Jari K.
