Cultural Theory and Psychoanalytic Tradition

Th e culture of psychoanalysis has many traditions and multiple schools of theory and thought. Th is work presents informative and original investigations into three overlapping areas of psychoanalytic tradition: the history of psychoanalysis;psychoanalytic culture criticism; and the application of psychoanalytic methods to the study of history. In this carefully crafted evaluation of various authors and subjects, Fisher's perceptions are informed by a deep and comprehensive knowledge of the psychoanalytic movement, its interaction with the wider context of European cultural and political history, and its philosophical and clinical origins.
