Psychoanalysis and Politics

Psychoanalysis and Politics is a conference series, founded by the philosopher Lene Auestad in 2010.[1]

Aims

It aims to address how contemporary political issues may be analyzed through psychoanalytic theory and vice versa – how political phenomena may reflect back on psychoanalytic thinking.[2]

The series is interdisciplinary; and invites theoretical contributions and historical, literary or clinical case studies from philosophers, sociologists, psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, group analysts, literary theorists, historians and others.[3]
