With passion and originality, Samuels presents powerful material on culture and politics (including critical takes on ‘the Other’ and on political violence), and a compassionate account of the role of an individual when it comes to progressive politics. There are provocative accounts of what a critical psychotherapy might look like plus a section on Jung and ‘race’. In a clinical chapter, Samuels show us what he means by the dynamic concept of the ‘activist client’.
