| DESCRIPTION: Has psychoanalysis
become 'postmodern'? How are the various schools of psychoanalysis being
altered by postmodernism? What role does psychoanalysis have to play in
the cultural debate in postmodern times?
"Psychoanalysis at its Limits" offers a stimulating account of the complex and contradictory nature of psychoanalysis in the postmodern age. It presents a history and critique of the concept of postmodernism throughout contemporary psychoanalytic thought. As such it is a critical survey of the complex relations between desire, selfhood and culture. Influential contributors: Jessica Benjamin, Jane Flax, Stephen Frosh,
Thomas Ogden, Stephen Mitchell and Karen Peoples, and Mark Bracher.
