Description
Psychoanalysis and Solidarity explores how psychoanalysis can be used as a tool for collective action. The contributors consider psychoanalysis as a political project that holds open the space of collective action, from individual treatment to broader social movements. The special issue brings together diverse perspectives on psychoanalysis, including its connections to politics, philosophy, and criticism. Contributors examine the potential for psychoanalysis to offer liberation and cure in the face of repressive external conditions, and consider how this can be applied in various contexts. Through a range of approaches, from clinical treatment to guerrilla psychoanalysis, the contributors construct, critique, historicize, and reimagine psychoanalysis as grounds for universal solidarity.
