We are fed at the breast of culture, not wholly but to differing
degrees. The Culture-Breast in Psychoanalysis: Cultural Experiences
and the Clinic focuses on the formative influence of cultural
objects in our lives, and the contribution such experiences make to
our mental health and overall wellbeing. The book introduces "the
culture-breast", a new clinical concept, to explore the central
importance played by cultural objects in the psychical lives of
patients and psychoanalytic clinical practitioners inside and
outside the consulting room. Bringing together clinical writings
from psychoanalysis and cultural objects from the applied fields of
film, art, literature and music, the book also makes an argument
for the usefulness of encounters with cultural objects as
"non-clinical case studies" in the training and further
professional development of psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.
Through its engagement with psychosocial studies, this text,
furthermore, interrogates, challenges and offers a way through a
hierarchical split that has become established in psychoanalysis
between "clinical psychoanalysis" and "applied psychoanalysis".
Combining approaches used in clinical, academic and arts settings,
The Culture-Breast in Psychoanalysis is an essential resource for
clinical practitioners of psychoanalysis, psychotherapy,
counselling, psychology and psychiatry. It will also be of interest
to researchers and practitioners in the fields of psychosocial
studies, sociology, social work, cultural studies and the creative
and performing arts.
