An inherent tension exists in the history of psychoanalysis and its
applications between the concepts of freedom and security. In
Managed Lives, this tension is explored from the point of view of
therapeutic experience. Set against the background of Freud's
contested legacy, the book examines ways of managing oneself under
psychiatric supervision, in the analytic encounter and in the
emotional and moral contexts of everyday life. Through a series of
detailed case studies Steven Groarke addresses therapeutic
experience as a formation of managed society, examining the work of
Donald Winnicott on types of management, Colin Murray Parkes on
bereavement and Anthony Giddens on the sociological appropriation
of psychoanalysis. Managed Lives forms an original critical
analysis of contemporary managerial culture and its self-reflexive
project as well as presenting the idea of management as a source of
inner security and vital morality. Presented in three parts, the
book addresses: The Criterion of Maturity The Reflexive Norm The
Managed Society Together, the book's arguments provide a fresh and
challenging perspective on post-Freudian uses of faith, the risks
of critical rationality and the difficulties of living an ethical
life under modern conditions. Managed Lives is ideal for academics
and research students working on psychoanalytic studies, social
theory and mental health studies as well as students and trainees
taking courses in psychotherapy, counselling, social work and
health and social care.
