As inequality widens in all sectors of contemporary society, we
must ask: is psychoanalysis too white and well-to-do to be relevant
to social, economic, and racial justice struggles? Are its ideas
and practices too alien for people of color? Can it help us
understand why systems of oppression are so stable and how
oppression becomes internalized? In A People's Historyof
Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation Psychology, Daniel Jose
Gaztambide reviews the oft-forgotten history of social justice in
psychoanalysis. Starting with the work of Sigmund Freud and the
first generation of left-leaning psychoanalysts, Gaztambide traces
a series of interrelated psychoanalytic ideas and social justice
movements that culminated in the work of Frantz Fanon, Paulo
Freire, and Ignacio Martin-Baro. Through this intellectual
genealogy, Gaztambide presents a psychoanalytically informed theory
of race, class, and internalized oppression that resulted from the
intertwined efforts of psychoanalysts and racial justice advocates
over the course of generations and gave rise to liberation
psychology. This book is recommended for students and scholars
engaged in political activism, critical pedagogy, and clinical
work.
