Description
In Psychoanalysis from the Indian Terroir, Manasi Kumar, Anup Dhar, and Anurag Mishra discuss the synergies and diachronic thought that is emblematic of the current psychoanalytic narrative in India and examine what psychoanalysis in India could become. The contributors to this edited collection connect problems around culture, family, traditions, and the burgeoning political changes in the Indian landscape in order to provide critical rejoinders to the maternal-feminine thematic in India's cultural psyche. Specifically, the contributors examine issues surrounding ethnic violence, therapists' gender and political identities, narratives of illness, and spiritual and traditional approaches to healing.
