In Psychoanalysis as a Subversive Phenomenon, Amber M. Trotter examines the radical sociopolitical roots of psychoanalysis and contends that psychoanalytic practices can and should be used to promote social change today. Trotter illustrates how analytic theory and practice can be used to disrupt and transform contemporary American culture. This book is recommended for scholars of psychoanalysis, psychology, race studies, gender studies, sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, and education.
