Psychoanalysis, Class and Politics: Encounters in the Clinical Setting

Editor : Lynne Layton, Editor : Susan Gutwill, Editor : Nancy Caro Hollander

Reviews and Endorsements

This examination of the psychodynamics of terror and aggression and the unconscious defences employed to deny reality offers powerful insights into the microscopic unconscious ways that ideology is enacted and lived. "Psychoanalysis, Class and Politics" will be of interest to all mental health professionals interested in improving their understanding of the ideological factors that impede or facilitate critical and engaged citizenship. It has a valuable contribution to make to the psychoanalytic enterprise, as well as to related scholarly and professional disciplines.
