Reviews and Endorsements
The clarity of this book is shocking—as much when it was first written as now. Turkle cuts to the quick of psychoanalysis, showing us the promise of its insights, the local flavor of its theories, and the banality of its scandals. How did we ever imagine there could be a psychoanalysis without politics?
Jamieson Webster, psychoanalyst; author of The Life and Death of Psychoanalysis
Sherry Turkle's stunning first book Psychoanalytic Politics tells the story of how a 'psychoanalytic thirst' took hold after 1968 in France. How lucky for us that it has been reissued and updated just as psychoanalysis makes a more overt return to consciousness.
