Description
The history of psychoanalysis and education is a complex one, spanning over a century. This book provides a detailed analysis of the relationship between these two fields, tracing the waxing and waning of their medical/therapeutic and emancipatory projects. By examining three historical periods, Taubman explores how psychoanalysis has influenced teaching and curriculum in the 20th century. He uses the concept of disavowal to examine the effects of unacknowledged knowledge within both psychoanalysis and education, revealing a history that is often overlooked. This book offers a unique perspective on the relationship between psychoanalysis and education, highlighting the potential for these two fields to come together as an emancipatory project.
