Textbook of Psychoanalysis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781615374854)

"The psychoanalytic frame, as we have known it, is at risk of disappearing. Psychoanalysts must meet the challenges of working within a radically altered psychoanalytic frame at a time of antiscientific attitudes toward climate change and heightened demands for racial justice and gender self-identification. We live in a frightening world in which psychoanalytic thinking might be of great assistance. Authors in this new edition explore how psychoanalysis is evolving in the current zeitgeist with its many challenges. All the chapters show that psychoanalytic methods, while recognizing the importance of the past, continue to remain open to the potential for new possibilities even in uncertain, extraordinary times. The search for individual truth has always been at the core of psychoanalytic thought. This third edition acknowledges the sociocultural and geopolitical forces that are shaping all our lives and affecting our search for truth, with the aim of sustaining that search"--
