Reviews

Situating psychoanalysis as an ethical discipline, Amber M. Trotter articulates a compelling vision of a psychoanalytic ethic that draws upon its radical roots and capacity for disrupting the status quo. Trotter's argument is a clarion call for psychoanalysis to sharpen its subversive edge through increased engagement with issues of structural, economic, and political inequality. This book will be of interest to all who value psychoanalysis and its subversive potential to effect progressive social change.--Karen Starr, New York University; coauthor of A Psychotherapy for the People: Toward a Progressive Psychoanalysis
