It intimately portrays how race, class, and gender shape relationship dynamics and a partner\u2019s sense of belonging. Assessment tools and intervention techniques help professionals and scholars work effectively with multiracial families as they negotiate difference, resist familial and societal disapproval, and strive for increased intimacy. The book concludes with a discussion of interracial couples in cinema and literature, the sensationalization of multiracial relations in mass media, and how to further liberalize partner selection across racial borders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interracial Couples, Intimacy, and Therapy: Crossing Racial Borders Columbia University Press October 2013 280 pages 6 B&amp;W Photos Cloth ISBN: 978-0-231-13294-7 Paper ISBN: 978-0-231-13295-4 Kyle D.
