New This Month in Psychology - June 2024
New in paperback this June, Psychoanalysis: An Interdisciplinary Retrospective, by Jeffrey Berman, assesses the contributions of six major psychoanalytic thinkers (Christopher Bollas, Nancy Chodorow, Sander L. Gilman, Adam Phillips, and Allen and Joan Wheelis) in the light of current academic and clinical trends in psychoanalysis.
"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, author Childhood beyond Pathology: A Psychoanalytic Study of Development and Diagnosis
