No one writing today has seen the necessary intersection of psychoanalysis and deconstruction more lucidly and comprehensively than Jared Russell. Discussing a wide range of psychoanalytic writers, Russell provides an essential education in how and why these bodies of thought have always been in dialogue, and how and why the future of psychoanalysis depends upon this dialogue. This is a must read for anyone working in these fields. -Alan Bass, New School for Social Research, New York City, USA In Psychoanalysis and Deconstruction: Freud's Psychic Apparatus, Jared Russell adeptly brings together psychoanalysis and deconstruction to demonstrate how the Freudian concept of a psychic apparatus takes into account, from the beginning, a notion of the incalculable. In lucid prose that places clinical vignettes alongside readings in deconstruction on the question of the machine, technicity, temporality, and life, Russell offers his readers a glimpse of a contemporary psychoanalytic clinic informed by the lessons of deconstruction. In doing so, Russell on the one hand opens up the field of deconstruction to the practice of psychoanalysis, and on the other opens psychoanalysis, in its contemporary iteration, to an important critique by deconstructive thought. -Azeen A. Khan, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, USA In an extraordinary work of deep reflection, Jared Russell offers an effective reading experiment with a remarkable outcome. Russell reads deconstruction and psychoanalysis alongside one another to rehabilitate a Freudian materialistic vocabulary that psychoanalysts have wrongly abandoned. Focusing on Derrida's reading of Freud, which (re)thinks the psyche as a machine, Russell makes a significant contribution to bringing psychoanalysis and philosophy together. He offers a deeper understanding of the practice of psychoanalysis, and of the philosophical grasp of the relationship between mind and subject. -Rosaura Martinez-Ruiz, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico 'No one writing today has seen the necessary intersection of psychoanalysis and deconstruction more lucidly and comprehensively than Jared Russell.
