Description: This book explores the unconscious in psychoanalysisusing cross - disciplinary input from the cultural social and linguistic perspectives. This book is the first contemporary collection applying the various perspectives from within the psychoanalytic discipline. It covers the unconscious from three main perspectives: the metaphysical including links with quantum mechanics and Jung's thought; the socio - relational drawing on ideas from politics inter - generational trauma and the interpersonal; and the linguistic drawing on notions of the social construct of language and hermeneutics. Throughout the history of psychoanalysis theorists have wrestled with the ubiquitousness and diverse nature of the unconscious. This collection is an account of the contemporary psychoanalytic struggle to understand and work with this quintessential defining and foundational object of psychoanalysis. This book is primarily of interest to practicing clinicians and trainees. It is also of significant interest to any academic professionals and students who adapt psychoanalytic thought in their studies in the humanities including literature philosophy and the social sciences.
