Xenopsych Case Studies (fiction)

The Xenopsych Case Studies are a series of episodes in the work life of Jahir Seni Galare, an Eldritch, and Vasiht'h, a Glaseah. They consist of vignettes, short stories and novellas, mostly set on Starbase Veta.
==Blurb==
In the multicultural Alliance, aliens mingle with humans and the Pelted, gengineered offspring of human experiments, in a vast and mostly peaceful communion. The mindlinked xeno-therapists Jahir, one of the rare Eldritch, and Vasiht'h, a furred centauroid, work on a starbase teeming with members of multiple races and species, where they ply their special brand of dream-therapy on the over-stressed members of their community. These case studies are a series of vignettes about living and working among these diverse species.
