| Extra Info | : | Carolyn Laubender's new book, The Political Clinic, addresses a long-standing debate in psychoanalysis, namely just how 'neutral' psychoanalysis can be. Arguing that the clinical encounter is in its very nature an exchange between political subjects held within a political context, Laubender examines historical cases from Britain and its former colonies to uncover the often-hidden political narratives contained therein. Against the backdrop of the cases studies of such luminaries as Klein, Anna Freud and Winnicott among others, Laubender also considers what progressive clinical practice can offer today. Innovative and provocative in its argument, The Political Clinic won the Book Prize of the American Psychoanalytic Association in 2025. In this special book launch at the Freud Museum, Carolyn Laubender will be joined by Prof. Ankhi Mukherjee, Prof. Stephen Frosh, Dr. Hannah Proctor, and Mr. Barry Watt to discuss psychoanalysis and the implications of The Political Clinic. |
