Reviews

“Psychoanalysis negotiates an irresolvable tension between the universal and the particular, the general and the singular. ... Psychoanalysis acknowledges the satisfaction that can be gained from seemingly miserable life arrangements. Covid was available to all as social symptom and could serve a multitude of functions.” (Conor McCormack, Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, Vol. 29 (1), 2024)
