Description
It has been decades since Freud fell out of favour, not only in mainstream psychiatry but also in radical thought, where both he and Lacan were accused of sexist and class biases. A People's History of Psychoanalysis refuses to accept this growing depoliticisation of a formerly revolutionary field.
Florent Gabarron-Garcia shatters the comfortable narrative of psychoanalysts as armchair theorists placidly interpreting family complexes sheltered in their consulting rooms. Recalling Freud's radical moments, such as his promotion of free clinics in Weimar Germany, or lesser-known figures including the Marxist Feminist psychoanalyst Marie Langer, his new history delves into how revolutionary ferment has cross-fertilised the exploration of the unconscious.
A People's History of Psychoanalysis is for those who wish to resist the conformist, therapist-centred, and repressive management of madness under contemporary capitalism.
