Book Announcement by Lynne Layton <\/strong>(USA)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>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 that call and produced a body of work that examines unconscious process as it operates both in the social world and in the clinic.<\/p>\n

In this volume of Layton\u2019s most important papers, edited by Marianna Leavy-Sperounis for Routledge\u2019s Relational Perspectives Book Series, Layton expands on earlier theorists\u2019 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, she describes how enactments of what she calls \u201cnormative unconscious processes\u201d reinforce cultural inequalities of race, sex, gender and class, both inside and outside the clinic, and at individual, interpersonal and institutional levels.<\/p>\n

Clinicians, academics and activists alike will find here a deeper understanding of the power of unconscious process, both to reproduce and to contest systemic inequalities. As Layton traces the contributions and shortcomings of contemporary psychoanalysis, she calls on readers\u00a0to envision and enact a progressive future in which vulnerability and interdependency are honored and systemic inequalities dismantled.<\/p>\n
