Jeffrey Longhofer

Jeffrey Longhofer, Ph.D., LCSW held graduate degrees in anthropology and social work. He did his postgraduate training in child development and psychoanalysis and adult psychoanalysis at the Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center and the Hanna Perkins Center (Cleveland, OH). He was co-President of the AAPCSW (American Association of Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work). He was a clinical social worker, applied anthropologist, and psychoanalyst, whose research focuses on mental health practice, mental health case management, psychiatric medication, and the roles that stigma and shame play in the social and psychological dynamics of practitioner/client interactions. His career was shaped by a concern for developing and disseminating experience-near analyses of human experience with the creative use of research methods from the allied disciplines of anthropology, social work, and psychoanalysis. He authored three books: Columbia University Press (2010): On Having and Being a Case Manager: A Relational Method for Recovery; Oxford University Press (2013), Qualitative Methods for Practice; Palgrave MacMillan (2015), A to Z for Psychodynamic Practice. With colleagues, Miriam Foger, Jerry Floersch, and Wendy Winograd, he edited: The Social Work and K-12 Schools Casebook: Phenomenological Perspectives, Routledge, 2017.  The Social Work and Sexual Trauma Casebook: Phenomenological Perspectives, Routledge, 2018 and The LGBTQ Sexual Trauma Casebook: Phenomenological Perspectives from Clinicians, Routledge, 2019. His latest work was on values in social work, transdisciplinary perspectives on empathy, and cyber porn trauma among young children and early adolescents.
