Critical theory draws on Marxism, psychoanalysis, postmodern and
poststructuralist theorists. Marxism and psychoanalysis are rooted
in the Enlightenment project, while postmodernism and
poststructuralism are more indebted to Nietzsche, whose philosophy
is rooted in anti-Enlightenment ideas and ideals. Marxism and
psychoanalysis contributed mightily to our understanding of fascism
and authoritarianism, but were distorted and disfigured by
authoritarian tendencies and practices in turn. This book, written
for clinicians and social scientists, explores these overarching
themes, focusing on the reception of Freud in America, the
authoritarian personality and American politics, Lacan's "return to
Freud," Jordan Peterson and the Crisis of the Liberal Arts, and the
anti-psychiatry movement.
