\"samuelsbkcvrw\"<\/a><\/a>A New Therapy for Politics<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Andrew Samuels has established an international practice as a political consultant, working with senior politicians, political parties, and activist groups. Now, in a long-anticipated tour-de-force that is both compassionate and intellectually stimulating, this book deepens in a new and innovative style his engagement with themes such as economics, ecopsychology, leadership, aggression and violence, the role of\u00a0 the individual in progressive politics, and sexuality and spirituality in political\u00a0 contexts. Published by Karnac (2015).<\/p>\n

Reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat could be more important than bringing to politics and the great social issues of our time the profound and clarifying perspective of psychodynamic thinking?\u00a0 Once\u00a0 again Andrew Samuels challenges and inspires us with questions we haven\u2019t dared formulate, and thankfully, at the same time, offers a brilliant analysis of the difficulties that overwhelm and obstruct the pursuit of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Jessica Benjamin, psychoanalyst and author of Shadow of the Other<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time when policy-makers are looking to psychology for simplistic answers to complex problems, and when psychotherapy is being co-opted in the service of capitalism, A New Therapy for Politics? <\/em>offers an essential, radically different vision of\u00a0 the interplay between the political and the psychoanalytic. Now that politics seems more stuck than ever, Samuels\u2019 fresh and provocative analysis might help us understand this condition, and what it would take to change\u00a0it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014William Davies, author of The Happiness\u00a0Industry<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew Samuels always challenges us. This book extends his themes of the polity and the therapeutic. Every day, political crises emerge which lend themselves to psychoanalytic analysis and therapeutic interventions. Who will be brave enough to listen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Susie\u00a0 Orbach,\u00a0 psychoanalyst\u00a0 and writer<\/p>\n

The Political Psyche Classic Edition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"samuelscoverartB1115w\"<\/a><\/strong>What can depth psychology and politics offer each other? In The Political Psyche<\/em><\/strong> Andrew Samuels shows how the inner journey of analysis and psychotherapy and the passionate political convictions of the outer world are linked. He brings an acute psychological perspective to bear on public themes such as the market economy, environmentalism, nationalism, and anti-Semitism. But, true to his aim of setting in motion a two-way process between depth psychology and politics, he also lays bare the hidden politics of the father, the male body, and of men’s issues generally. A special feature of the book is an international survey into what analysts and psychotherapists do when their patients\/clients bring overtly political material into the clinical setting. The results, including what the respondents reveal about their own political attitudes, destabilize any preconceived notions about the political sensitivity of analysis and psychotherapy. This Classic Edition (Routledge, 2016) of the book includes a new introduction by Andrew Samuels.<\/p>\n

The Plural Psyche Classic Edition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"samuelscoverartC1115w\"<\/a>Pluralism can bridge the gaps that have opened up between personal experience, psychotherapy, and cultural criticism. In The Plural Psyche: Personality, Morality and the Father<\/em><\/strong>, a provocative, much praised and widely discussed book, Andrew Samuels lays bare the political implications of the personal struggle everyone has to hold their many inner divisions together. He also shows how pluralism can inspire new thinking in many areas including moral process, the construction of gender, and the role of the father in the development of sons and daughters. In addition, there are innovative chapters on clinical work, focusing on imagery and on countertransference. These themes come to life in a way that makes a significant contribution to debates about psychotherapy, gender, parenting and difference. This Classic Edition (Routledge, 2016) of The Plural Psyche<\/em><\/strong> includes a new introduction by Andrew Samuels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviews:<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>\u201cVery relevant to important depth psychological controversies and even to important general political arguments of the present day \u2026 original and stimulating.\u201d<\/p>\n

– British Journal of Psychiatry<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA way to deal creatively, but by no means softly, with differing views of the psyche. \u2026 A first rate job \u2026 interesting, valuable and stimulating \u2026 lively and consciousness expanding.\u201d<\/p>\n
