Beyond Psychotherapy
In Beyond Psychotherapy: On Becoming a (Radical) Psychoanalyst, Barnaby B. Barratt illuminates a new perspective on what it means to open our awareness to the depths of psychic life and restores the radicality of genuinely psychoanalytic discourse as the unique science of healing. Starting with an incisive critique of the ideological conformism of psychotherapy, Barratt defines the method of psychoanalysis against the conventional definition, which emphasizes the practice of arriving at useful interpretations about our personal existence. Instead, he shows how a negatively dialectical and deconstructive praxis successfully ‘attacks’ the self-enclosures of interpretation, allowing the spe...
Radical Psychoanalysis
Only by the method of free-association could Sigmund Freud have demonstrated how human consciousness is formed by the repression of thoughts and feelings that we consider dangerous. Yet today most therapists ignore this truth about our psychic life. This book offers a critique of the many brands of contemporary psychoanalysis and psychotherapy that have forgotten Freud's revolutionary discovery. Barnaby B. Barratt offers a fresh and compelling vision of the structure and function of the human psyche, building on the pioneering work of theorists such as André Green and Jean Laplanche, as well as contemporary deconstruction, feminism, and liberation philosophy. He explores how ‘drive’ or ...

In a radically powerful interpretation of the human condition, this book redefines the discipline of psychoanalysis by examining its fundamental assumptions about the unconscious mind, the nature of personal history, our sexualities, and the significance of the "Oedipus Complex".

In 1912, Sigmund Freud formed a "Secret Committee", charged with the task of protecting and advancing his discoveries. In...

Liberating Eros
This book is about lovemaking as the supreme path of spiritual practice. Through its carefully crafted chapters, Barratt presents a profound and ancient insight. The essential flow of life is sexual, sensual, and spiritual. Consequently, our sexuality is not an obstacle to spiritual life. Rather, it is the singular vehicle of Holy Spirit. The libidinality of our embodiment is the only process by which we may come to be truly in the spirit of Love, life and liberty. This book may disturb some of its readers, but it will not be forgotten. For it reminds us to return to the dance of life and to the nakedness of genuine spiritual experience.
