Beskrivning
Assesses the contributions of six major psychoanalytic thinkers in the light of current academic and clinical trends in psychoanalysis.Psychoanalysis: An Interdisciplinary Retrospective offers in-depth discussions of and conversations with six psychoanalytic writers: Christopher Bollas, Nancy Chodorow, Sander L. Gilman, Adam Phillips, and Allen and Joan Wheelis. All are genuinely interdisciplinary in their work, bridging multiple cultural and professional positions, but all are deeply rooted in the humanities. They are all also highly controversial, challenging and critiquing conventional psychoanalytic wisdom while also devoting themselves to expanding psychoanalytic knowledge. Drawing on interviews as well as his own readings, Jeffrey Berman examines the continuities and discontinuities in each writer's work while also exploring the interrelationships between psychoanalysis and the humanities. The book ultimately offers a portrait of psychoanalysis as a work in progress, a plurality of visions that might more aptly be termed psychoanalyses.

Recensioner i media

"This deeply engaging and page-turning book delves into the rich and tangled intersections between psychoanalysis and literature. Jeffrey Berman offers us a unique cultural history of psychoanalysis, focusing on six analysts and the debates, conflicts, and prevailing assumptions of the times in which they wrote and worked. Berman shows, too, how analysts throughout the decades 'crack up' the epistemological certitudes of their own field by proffering literary analytic images and ideas. His book signifies a provocative turn that shifts the gaze of psychoanalysis away from the analysand on the couch and toward the analyst as a thinking, desiring, striving, failing, reading, writing, and vulnerable subject of humanity." — Lisa Farley, York University
