Summary of the Article
This article focuses on psychoanalytic applications in a diverse society focusing on racial and cultural diversity (Tummala-Narra, 2013). The article applies psychoanalytic theory for the study of diversity in clinical and community context. Some of the proposed interventions suggested by the author for engaging the stakeholders in psychoanalytic applications in a diversified society are multicultural approach, community approach and psychoanalytic theoretical approach. These approaches tend to ascertain how psychoanalytic theory can be expounded by engaging a diversified population in the study based on their race and culture.

Perception of the Intervention
These interventions have been used by various researchers in the past in ascertaining how various interactions in the society affect the individuals psychologically. The author does not praise the use of the internet over the traditional method but tries to discuss some of the views of the analysts engaged in psychological studies. An individual for instance an Indian working among Americans in the organization might be affected psychologically especially if he or she feels she is not recognized. Various psychoanalytic experts have shared their experience for working in different community settings where they claim to have suffered psychological trauma.

Practice with my clients
I would embrace inclusion of clients of different races and culture to create a sense of belonging among them. As a psychologist, I would handle all clients with various issues affecting their psychological well-being despite their race and culture.
Limitation of the study
The main limitation of the study is the focus on two aspects of diversity; race and culture hence studies should be conducted to ascertain psychoanalytic application on gender diversity and religious diversity. The limitations of this study cannot prevent me from using the findings because they are crucial as they provide the strategy for thriving in several community settings without psychological problems.

People who don’t know how to use the internet and other forms of communication is a limitation to the study (Migone, 2013). However, it is important to note that at least 9 out of 10 patients can use a phone.

The limitations of this study cannot prevent me from using the findings because they are crucial as they provide the strategy for thriving in several community settings without psychological problems.

The limitations of the study
The phone is also another way that therapy can be done. It is important to note that therapy is more of communication. It is therefore clear that the limitations to the study might not impact the ability to use the findings as presented in the article.
