The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis, 1st Edition, is an academic handbook examining the conceptual interface between philosophical thought and psychoanalysis. It explores philosophical implications, critiques, and reformulations of psychoanalytic theory through original contributions from leading researchers.
Moving beyond an exclusive focus on Sigmund Freud, the volume contextualizes psychoanalytic thought within contemporary clinical practices, observational techniques, and cross-disciplinary developments. Sourced discussions analyze foundational concepts such as unconscious motivation, primitive modes of thought, defense mechanisms, and transference.
The work serves as a reference for academic researchers, psychoanalysts, mental health professionals, graduates, and trainees interested in the intersections of both disciplines.
