Ian Parker has been a leading light in the fields of critical and
discursive psychology for over 25 years. The Psychology After
Critique series brings together for the first time his most
important papers. Each volume in the series has been prepared by
Ian Parker and presents a newly written introduction and focused
overview of a key topic area. Psychology After Psychoanalysis, the
fourth volume in the series, is about the impact of psychoanalysis
on critical debates in psychology. It addresses three central
questions: Why is psychoanalysis re-emerging within psychology? How
can psychoanalytic ideas inform psychosocial research? How does
psychoanalysis explain the relation between the individual and
society? International in scope, the book includes a clear account
of psychoanalysis, and the different varieties of the approach that
are at work inside and outside the discipline of psychology. It
explores the status of psychoanalysis as a series of concepts and
as a methodology, and shows how its clinical practice is crucial to
the way that it operates now in an academic context. In doing so,
the book sheds light on the arguments currently occurring inside
psychoanalysis, with discussion of its relation to critical
psychology, psychosocial research, the health professions, culture
and social theory. Parker shows how psychoanalysis rests on a
notion of 'method' that is very different from mainstream
psychology, and unravels the implications of this difference. Early
chapters examine the lines of debate between various
psychoanalytical traditions, and show how critical psychology
challenges the assumptions about human nature and subjectivity made
in conventional psychoanalysis. Later chapters introduce the
methodological device of 'transference' and explore how
psychoanalysis may be utilized as a resource to review key
questions of human culture. Psychology After Psychoanalysis is
essential reading for students and researchers in psychology,
psychosocial studies, sociology, social anthropology and cultural
studies, and to psychoanalysts of different traditions engaged in
academic research.
