Questioning Identities; Philosophy in Psychoanalytic Practice

By Mary Lynne Ellis (co-author Noreen O’Connor)

London: Routledge, 2010

Face-to-face with differences in the analytical relationship analysts frequently confront the limitations of their theories. Mary Lynne Ellis and Noreen O’Connor move to the heart of 21st century intertwining of psychoanalytical and philosophical critical reflections. From an intersectional perspective they highlight how philosophical analyses of language, embodiment, time, history, and conscious/unconscious experiences can contribute to clinical interpretations of gender, sexuality, race, age, culture, and class.
