Psychoanalytic Thinking
A Dialectical Critique of Contemporary Theoryand Practice
Donald L. Carveth, York University, Toronto, Canada
Series: Psychological Issues
Since the classical Freudian and ego psychology paradigms
lost their position of dominance in the late 1950s, psychoanalysis became a multi-paradigm science with
those working in the different frameworks increasingly
engaging only with those in the same or related intellectual "silos." Beginning with Freud’s theory of human nature and
civilization, Psychoanalytic Thinking: A Dialectical Critique of
Contemporary Theory and Practice proceeds to review and
critically evaluate a series of major post-Freudian
contributions to psychoanalytic thought.
"Psychoanalytic Thinking is a bold and fascinating
exploration of diverse trends in contemporary
psychoanalysis; one firmly grounded in the history of the
discipline. Carveth’s fearless critique of authoritarian
trends in psychoanalysis, past and present, is balanced
by refreshing reminders of the emancipatory power of
truth, the dangers of postmodern relativism, and the
importance of differentiating between the superego and
conscience proper. And much, much else besides." —
Daniel Burston, Ph.D., Department of Psychology,
Duquesne University.
