A Political Psychoanalysis for the Anthropocene Age presents an
evaluation of the politics of climate change and considers how
psychoanalysis can contribute to this discourse. Presented in two
parts, the book first uses a psychoanalytic approach to interrogate
political-economic realities and their impact on shaping Western
political selves in the Anthropocene age. Ryan LaMothe identifies
core illusions of the Western psyche and how they shape behavior
and relations, as well as how they are implicated in various
emotional responses to climate change like eco-mourning and
eco-denial. Topics such as political dwelling, sovereignty,
political violence and change, climate obstacles such as
capitalism, nationalism, and imperialism, and the problem of hope
are explored using psychoanalytic and philosophical perspectives.
LaMothe then considers the role of psychoanalysis in the
public-political realm, as well as how a psychoanalytic political
perspective invites reforming the education and practice of
psychoanalysis. A Political Psychoanalysis for the Anthropocene Age
will be thought-provoking reading for psychoanalysts and
psychotherapists, as well as anyone interested in the politics of
climate change.
