Reimagining Psychoanalytic Theory in the Climate Polycrisis re-visions psychoanalysis by considering indigenous philosophy and the work of Giorgio Agamben.
Ryan LaMothe argues that the origins of psychoanalysis have tacitly produced, with some qualifications, not only dismissive attitudes and relations toward so-called "primitive" peoples and their philosophies, but also depersonalization of other species. Revisiting key psychoanalytic concepts and drawing on Winnicott, Bollas, and Lear, LaMothe sheds new light on notions of subjectivity, psychosocial development, trauma, transference, resistance, therapy, and analytic love and hope. Relying on the philosophy of Giorgio Agamben and Indigenous philosophies, this book aims to cross the divide by reimagining psychoanalytic developmental theory and concepts.
Reimagining Psychoanalytic Theory in the Climate Polycrisis will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in practice and in training.
Ryan LaMothe is a professor of pastoral care and counselling. He has written extensively in the areas of psychoanalysis, political philosophy and theology, and psychology of religion. Recent work includes A Political Psychoanalysis for the Anthropocene Age (Routledge, 2023).
