Psychoanalysis, Apathy, and the Postmodern Patient

Exploring the intersection of psychoanalysis and postmodernism, this book delves into key psychoanalytic texts and critically assesses shifts in foundational Freudian concepts. It highlights the implications for understanding infantile sexuality, psychic reality, unconscious determinism, and the dynamics of desire and free association. By examining these changes, the work addresses the evolving nature of the patient-analyst relationship in contemporary psychoanalytic practice.
