Papers in Philosophy, the Humanities and the British Clinical Tradition. — Routledge: Taylor & Francis Group, 2007. — 246 p. — ISBN13: 978-0-415-39253-2 (hardback); ISBN10: 0-415-39253-5 (hardback); ISBN13: 978-0-415-39254-9 (pbk.); ISBN10: 0-415-39254-3 (pbk.).Ever since Freud, psychoanalysts have explored the connections between psychoanalysis and literature and psychoanalysis and philosophy, while
literary criticism, social science and philosophy have all reflected on and made use of ideas from psychoanalytic theory. The Academic Face of
Psychoanalysis presents contributions from these fields and gives the reader an insight into different understandings and applications of psychoanalytic theory.
This book comprises twelve contributions from experts in their fields covering philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology and literary theory. These
chapters fall into three Groups
· Psychoanalytic texts
· Philosophical texts
· Essays based on literary theory
Louise Braddock and Michael Lacewing successfully bring these contributions together with an in-depth introduction that allows the
reader to explore the connections between the different disciplines.
The multi-disciplinary approach to this book is rare; it will appeal to academics and students, from the subject areas of psychoanalysis,
humanities and social science.List of contributors
