Where Id Was: Challenging Normalization In Psychoanalysis

Now, in the 21st century, when the values of 'normalization' pervade not only society but increasingly the consulting room itself, this work attempts to break through the atrophies of Freudian theory to recapture its early spirit and to focus attention on the inherently political dimensions of psychoanalytic culture.

This collection brings together psychoanalytic thinkers to present an analysis of the individual and social concerns which inform the 'politics' of contemporary psychoanalysis.
