The International Psychoanalytic Congress gathered in 1967 to
define the clinical concept of "acting out." Thirty years later,
our society, which once labeled those who exhibited excessive
aggression as delinquent, celebrates outrageous public behavior. In
Acting Out in Groups, writers, literary theorists, and cultural
critics explore therapeutic descriptions of acting out in relation
to the conduct condoned, even encouraged, on daytime TV talk shows,
at political rallies, and in performance.
Through a deconstruction of "acting out, " this collection seeks
a new; performative style of critical discourse that incorporates
the exuberance and intensity of acting out for analytical ends.
Topics include the Jenny Jones murder trial; the response of
psychoanalysts to the acclaimed documentary Crumb; the place of the
Berlin Wall and other national symbols in German life; and the
roles of aggression and discipline in childhood development.
