Way Beyond Freud - Postmodern Psychoanalysis Observed (Hardcover)

In the last twenty years, psychoanalysis has been intrigued by some enduring topics and has scrutinized them with increasing sophistication. Matters of culture, gender, neurobiology, self-states, and the profound complexities of relationships have riveted the attention of theorists and practitioners, and new models of treatment and additional theories of pathogenesis have emerged. Of the recent trends that have captured the interests of psychoanalytic theorists and practitioners, this volume focuses on postmodern psychoanalysis. The contributors are advocates, critics, interested observers - all of whom share an open, scholarly interest in this contemporary phenomenon.
