Writings for a Liberation Psychoanalysis: Politicizing the Unconscious from the Core of a Crumbling Empire

Author(s) : Robert Beshara

Reviews and Endorsements

'After his first two books, Decolonial Psychoanalysis and Freud and Said, Robert Beshara begins again and again… This third book, Writings for a Liberation Psychoanalysis, is the return of psychoanalysis to its revolutionary potentials via an ethics of the social. Beshara joins the reader on a magical carpet voyage, one that is turbulent, disturbing, desirous, and transformative, but above all, libidinized by an internal sense of radical hope. It is a voyage from Djehuty and Ibn Rushd to Freud, Lacan, and Said towards the impossibility of love within capitalism. What remains unapologetically clear throughout the book is Beshara’s commitment to an ethics of liberation psychoanalysis.'
Gohar Homayounpour, author of Persian Blues, Psychoanalysis and Mourning

'Psychoanalysis beyond alienation and beyond existential fatalism! Liberation psychoanalysis as revolutionary love… This book outlines the lesser travelled path in the psychoanalytic field, which has today either become an esoteric practice or a discourse of mastery. Beshara reminds us that it is neither, nor that it continues to harbor a future promise for humanity. A must read for the dark times ahead…'
