Textbook of Applied Psychoanalysis

<p><em>The Textbook of Applied Psychoanalysis</em> is a unique and original contribution to the field of psychoanalysis. Emphasizing and underscoring the need for interdisciplinary discourse in understanding the dialectical relationship between mind and culture this volume addresses a multiplicity of realms. These include anthropology religion philosophy history as well as evolutionary psychology medicine race poverty migration and prejudice. Dimensions of social praxis such as education health policy and cyberpsychology are also addressed. The enrichment of our understanding of the fine arts (e.g. painting sculpture poetry) and performing arts (e.g. music dance cinema) by the application of psychoanalytic principles and the enhancement of psychoanalysis by bringing such arts to bear upon it also form areas of this book's concern. This magisterial volume brings distinguished psychoanalysts philosophers musicians poets businessmen architects and movie critics together to create a chorus of modern anthropologically-informed and culturally sensitive psychoanalysis.</p>
