/530/ Urgent and Immediate and Impossible ft. Christie Offenbacher & Ricky Levitt
DESCRIPTION
On the social turn in psychoanalysis.
Psychoanalysts Christie and Ricky talk to Alex and George about their article in issue #5 of Damage, on ill-fated attempts at solving social problems through therapy.
What is the 'social turn' and is it another case of immediacy?
Why are the social problems to be dealt with treated as both urgent and impossible to resolve?
Is this a case of hyperpolitics? Is psychoanalysis actually white supremacy?
Do the professions need defending? Do they need to accept their limitations?
