Beschreibung

Psychoanalysis is having a resurgence in popularity-but it is not helping patients navigate the harm of modern-day capitalism. Instead, it continues to enforce oppressive structures, state power, and reactionary politics.

Practising psychoanalytic clinician Lara Sheehi creates a thrilling argument for how seizing the means of psychoanalysis can transform it into one of many tools in service of revolution, showing how psychoanalysis can help unpack how psychological and emotional processes are mobilized by political power, capitalism, the state, oppression, and even genocide.

Arguing for a new, liberatory psychoanalysis, she calls for us to harness its radical power from the clinic to the streets.
