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 the Unconscious is
the fifth volume in the series and addresses three central
questions: Why is Freud's concept of the unconscious important
today? Does language itself play a role in the creation of the
unconscious? How does Lacan radicalize Freud's notion of the
unconscious in relation to cultural research? The book provides a
clear explanation of Freudian and Lacanian accounts of the
unconscious. It also highlights their role in offering a new way of
describing, understanding and working with the human subject in
clinical settings and in cultural research. Part One shows how the
unconscious is elaborated in Freud's early case studies in Studies
on Hysteria, while Part Two focuses on Lacan's re-working of the
unconscious and its relationship to language and culture in his
influential public seminars. The book also provides access to key
debates currently occurring in Freudian and Lacanian
psychoanalysis, exploring both the clinical dimension and the
consequences for psychological and cultural research. Psychology
After the Unconscious 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. It will also
introduce key ideas and debates within critical psychology to
undergraduates and postgraduate students across the social
sciences.
