LaMothe also wrote Heresies of the Heart: Developing Emotional Wisdom (2009), Becoming Alive: Psychoanalysis and Vitality (2005), and Revitalizing Faith through Pastoral Counseling (2001), along with journal articles on a range of psychoanalytic themes. Among those articles are "Freud's Envy of Religious Experience," "Political Humiliation, Object Use," and "Psychological Changes in the Life of Malcolm X." In this volume, he intends to add to psychoanalytic anthropology. He draws often from the works of Ronald Fairbairn, Ian Suttie, and Donald Winnicott, and from philosopher John Macmurray. LaMothe asserts that analysis should include assessment of the parts played by economics, politics, and social domains on the person's community. Highly readable concrete characterizations of his therapy with particular patients-in-community bring theory to life.
