- Summary
- "Ian Parker systematically reviews key psychoanalytic theories to reveal social processes and their significance to modern life: Freud and object relations theory is directed towards group processes, religion and war; the Frankfurt School is used to examine individuality, authoritarianism and changes in culture; and the Lacanian tradition to account for language, representation and self-improvement. The theoretical analysis incorporates throughout the volume the work of figures ranging from Adorno, Habermas and Fromm to Klein, Kristeva, Winnicott and Zizek." "Psychoanalytic Culture will be essential reading for students and academics in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, psychology, sociology and cultural studies."--Jacket
