Book Announcement by Roger Frie (Canada)
In Culture, Politics and Race in the Making of Interpersonal Psychoanalysis, co-editors Roger Frie and Pascal Sauvayre trace the emergence of interpersonal psychoanalysis and demonstrate how the radical, cross-disciplinary dialogues that form its foundation are relevant to present-day social and cultural challenges.
Psychoanalysts today are grappling with how to address a host of societal and political crises. In the 1930s, a similar set of crises led a group of progressive practitioners and scholars to engage in a radical, cross-disciplinary dialogue that became the foundation for interpersonal psychoanalysis. Pioneering psychoanalysts created a form of thought and practice that viewed human suffering through the wider lens of society and culture and provided a means to address the pervasive issues of racism, sexuality and politics in human experience. With contributions from leading psychoanalysts and scholars, and by making use of original sources, this collection of essays, part of Routledge’s Psychoanalysis in a New Key series, evidences the significance of this approach to understanding marginalisation today.
