Psychoanalytic Thinking A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice Donald L. Carveth, York University, Toronto, Canada Series: Psychological Issues Since the classical Freudian and ego psychology paradigms lost their position of dominance in the late 1950s, psychoanalysis became a multi-paradigm science with those working in the different frameworks increasingly engaging only with those in the same or related intellectual "silos." Beginning with Freud’s theory of human nature and civilization, Psychoanalytic Thinking: A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theory and Practice proceeds to review and critically evaluate a series of major post-Freudian contributions to psychoanalytic thought. "Psychoanalytic Thinking is a bold and fascinating exploration of diverse trends in contemporary psychoanalysis; one firmly grounded in the history of the discipline. Carveth’s fearless critique of authoritarian trends in psychoanalysis, past and present, is balanced by refreshing reminders of the emancipatory power of truth, the dangers of postmodern relativism, and the importance of differentiating between the superego and conscience proper. And much, much else besides." — Daniel Burston, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Duquesne University. 20% Discount Available - enter the code FLR40 at checkout* Hb: 978-1-138-56071-0 | $112.00 Pb: 978-1-138-56072-7 | $35.96 To request a review copy please complete our online form http://pages.email.taylorandfrancis.com/review-copy-request For more information visit: www.routledge.com/9781138560727 * Offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount and only applies to books purchased directly via our website.
