Subversion and Desire

Více o produktu ↓

This book presents the importance of subversion in psychotherapy and revaluates the positive role of desire as an integrating force in the individual and collective psyche. It provides a philosophical frame which expands the scope of contemporary psychotherapy that is curtailed by a reductionist neoliberal zeitgeist. The author also reassesses some inspiringly subversive legacies in psychoanalysis to sketch a psychology wedded to broadminded political engagement. Covering psychotherapy, politics, art and literature, and social and cultural theory, this book will appeal to anyone interested in understanding how psychotherapy and philosophy can be more radical and subversive endeavours.
