Reimagining Psychoanalytic Theory In The Climate Polycrisis Thinking With Giorgio Agamben And Indigenous Philosophies

Reimagining Psychoanalytic Theory in the Climate Polycrisis re-visions psychoanalysis by considering indigenous philosophy and the work of Giorgio Agamben. Ryan La Mothe argues that the origins of psychoanalysis have tacitly produced with some qualifications not only dismissive attitudes and relations toward so-called primitive peoples and their philosophies but also depersonalization of other species. Revisiting key psychoanalytic concepts and drawing on Winnicott Bollas and Lear La Mothe sheds new light on notions of subjectivity psychosocial development trauma transference resistance therapy and analytic love and hope. Relying on the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben and Indigenous philosophies this book aims to cross the divide by reimagining psychoanalytic developmental theory and concepts. Reimagining Psychoanalytic Theory in the Climate Polycrisis will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training. |Reimagining Psychoanalytic Theory in the Climate Polycrisis Thinking with Giorgio Agamben and Indigenous Philosophies
