The Subversive Edge of Psychoanalysis examines the radical and non-conformist perspectives of both classical and contemporary psychoanalysis.

The chapters included in this book span the course of David James Fisher’s career. They contextualize significant cases from the recent history of psychoanalysis, critically analyze key aspects of psychoanalytic work, consider the role of psychoanalysis in the history of the twentieth century, and provide biographical sketches of major figures in the field. The book concludes with a cogent interview of the author by a distinguished psychohistorian, depicting how subjectivity, family themes, politics, and cultural affinities marked his choice of subject matter and methodology, his identifications, and his antipathies.

The Subversive Edge of Psychoanalysis will appeal to mental health professionals and students with an interest in psychoanalytic practice and theory and academics and researchers who are fascinated by the subversive, non-conforming aspects of both classical and contemporary psychoanalysis.

David James Fisher is Senior Faculty at the New Center for Psychoanalysis and Training and Supervising Analyst at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis. He specializes in the history of psychoanalysis, the convergence of cultural history with psychoanalysis, and psychoanalytic applications to politics, movies, literature, and works of art. His background is in European Cultural and Intellectual History. He has been practicing psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in Los Angeles for 45 years.
