Rubin in \u003cb\u003eA Psychoanalysis for Our Time\u003c\/b\u003e. Rather, it has profound relevance for our troubled time.\u003cbr\u003e Steering a balanced course between Freud's virulent attackers and his loyalist defenders, Rubin discerns both blind spots and hidden strengths in psychoanalysis. He reveals its covert authoritarianism, Byzantine politics, censorship of dissident thinkers, residual sexism, and overly simplistic accounts of self. \u003cb\u003eA Psychoanalysis for Our Time\u003c\/b\u003e does not only cogently critique psychoanalysis, however; it also offers a visionary approach for its renewal, based on cultivating greater historical, theoretical, and methodological self-awareness within psychoanalysis.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on history, deconstructionism, feminism, anthropology, and Eastern meditative disciplines, Rubin portrays a psychoanalysis that is self-reflective and non-authoritarian, pluralistic and emancipatory. Encyclopedic in scope, integrative in spirit, \u003cb\u003eA Psychoanalysis for Our Time\u003c\/b\u003e is a brilliant and landmark work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeffrey Rubin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274221957371,"sku":"9780814774915","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/a-psychoanalysis-for-our-time-9780814774915","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
