Show Notes

On the social turn in psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysts Christie and Ricky talk to Alex and George about their article in issue #5 of Damage, on ill-fated attempts at solving social problems through therapy.

  • What is the 'social turn' and is it another case of immediacy?

  • Why are the social problems to be dealt with treated as both urgent and impossible to resolve?

  • Is this a case of hyperpolitics? Is psychoanalysis actually white supremacy?

  • Do the professions need defending? Do they need to accept their limitations?
