Psychoanalysis and Culture at the Millennium
This outstanding collection of essays explores the pervasive influence of psychoanalysis on culture and thought in the late twentieth century. Eminent contributors representing the fields of philosophy, history, anthropology, literature, art history, and psychoanalysis examine the scope and variety of Sigmund Freud's impact on the modern intellectual climate. They show how Freud and others who followed him have profoundly expanded our understanding of human nature. The contributors discuss the psychoanalytic value of picture books for the young child; the historical and social meanings of perversion; the gendered cultural geography of Freud's mind; current issues of nationalism; and a variety of other topics that reveal both the diversity and the unity of psychoanalysis at the approach of a new millennium.
Toward a Social Psychoanalysis
Frantz Fanon, Erich Fromm, Pierre Bourdieu, and Marie Langer are among those activists, clinicians, and academics who have called for a social psychoanalysis. For over thirty years, Lynne Layton has heeded this call and produced a body of work that examines unconscious process as it operates both in the social world and in the clinic. In this volume of Layton’s most important papers, she expands on earlier theorists’ ideas of social character by exploring how dominant ideologies and culturally mandated, hierarchical identity prescriptions are lived in individual and relational conflict. Through clinical and cultural examples, Layton describes how enactments of what she calls ‘normative unconscious processes’ reinforce cultural inequalities of race, sex, gender, and class both inside and outside the clinic, and at individual, interpersonal, and institutional levels. Clinicians, academics, and activists alike will find here a deeper understanding of the power of unconscious process, and are called on to envision and enact a progressive future in which vulnerability and interdependency are honored and systemic inequalities dismantled.
Psychoanalysis and Culture
Written in a readable, accessible style, with plenty of up-to-date examples, Psychoanalysis and Culture provides a brilliant introduction to key issues in the area of application of psychoanalytic theories to culture. Rosalind Minsky argues that we cannot grasp the complexity of contemporary global issues without understanding some of the unconscious processes which underlie them. After introducing some major modern and postmodern psychoanalytic approaches, Minsky offers a broad-ranging critique of Lacan's theory of culture and the unconscious. She explores a range of crucial and topical questions: How should we explain women's historical subordination and what is now often seen as a crisis ...

The Culture-Breast in Psychoanalysis
We are fed at the breast of culture, not wholly but to differing degrees. The Culture-Breast in Psychoanalysis: Cultural Experiences and the Clinic focuses on the formative influence of cultural objects in our lives, and the contribution such experiences make to our mental health and overall wellbeing. The book introduces “the culture-breast”, a new clinical concept, to explore the central importance played by cultural objects in the psychical lives of patients and psychoanalytic clinical practitioners inside and outside the consulting room.
