Education Policy, Neoliberalism, and Leadership Practice is a
foundational book describing all aspects of neoliberalism and its
broad scale impact in education. Drawing on research and canvassing
policy developments across a range of contexts, this book
critically analyzes neoliberal education policies, the practices
and outcomes they spawn, and the purposes they serve. It
interrogates how education leaders perceive and interpret
neoliberal influences and the dilemmas and opportunities they
create, while unpacking questions of why neoliberalism is the basis
for educational policy, how neoliberalism impacts on education, and
what this means for the future.
How did psychoanalysis come to define itself as being different
from psychotherapy? How have racism, homophobia, misogyny and
anti-Semitism converged in the creation of psychotherapy and
psychoanalysis? Is psychoanalysis psychotherapy? Is psychoanalysis
a "Jewish science"? Inspired by the progressive and humanistic
origins of psychoanalysis, Lewis Aron and Karen Starr pursue
Freud's call for psychoanalysis to be a "psychotherapy for the
people." They present a cultural history focusing on how
psychoanalysis has always defined itself in relation to an "other."
At first, that other was hypnosis and suggestion; later it was
psychotherapy. The authors trace a series of binary oppositions,
each defined hierarchically, which have plagued the history of
psychoanalysis. Tracing reverberations of racism, anti-Semitism,
misogyny, and homophobia, they show that psychoanalysis, associated
with phallic masculinity, penetration, heterosexuality, autonomy,
and culture, was defined in opposition to suggestion and
psychotherapy, which were seen as promoting dependence, feminine
passivity, and relationality. Aron and Starr deconstruct these
dichotomies, leading the way for a return to Freud's progressive
vision, in which psychoanalysis, defined broadly and flexibly, is
revitalized for a new era. A Psychotherapy for the People will be
of interest to psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, clinical
psychologists, psychiatrists--and their patients--and to those
studying feminism, cultural studies and Judaism.
