Reviews
""This book is an essential read for clinicians who work psychotherapeutically with individuals, couples and families, as well as for academics and the general reader interested in deepening their understanding of how the two psychic drives, sexuality and aggression, interact and can affect individuals, communities, and humanity as a whole. The author presents complex psychoanalytic and neuroscientific ideas in an uncomplicated and straightforward way, effortlessly deepening our understanding of historical and current geo-political aggressions from a theoretical and neurobiological viewpoint."" Dr Amita Sehgal, MA, PhD, Couple Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, The Balint Consultancy, London. ""Dr Perkel offers us an outstanding exploration of human aggression that draws on selected psychoanalytic and neuroscientific sources. Particularly impressive is the way in which he weaves clinical and sociohistorical material into his theoretical discussion. Sophisticated in its arguments yet eminently readable, this book will be of great value to students and practitioners in the mental health professions and the social sciences. Dr Barnaby B Barratt, PhD, DHS, ABPP, IPA Psychoanalyst (Research & Training), Sexuality Consultant - Somatic Psychologist. “[T]he book offers a pertinent lens to aid in understanding the development and role of aggression as well as the potential perversion of the aim of aggression. The publication of this book is timeous, and it is an important contribution in the ‘present’ where aggression appears to be engulfing the world.” James van der Walt, Clinical Psychologist, Johannesburg, South Africa, Psychoanalytic Practice Journal
