/530/ Urgent and Immediate and Impossible ft. Christie Offenbacher & Ricky Levitt
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?
