| Summary |
"Freud in the Antipodes discusses the impact of Freud on the medical profession before looking more widely, finding that Freudian ideas have permeated intellectual circles as well." "By linking psychoanalysis with modernity, the book is, in effect, an alternative history of twentieth-century Australia. Joy Damousi considers the changes that increasingly sophisticated drugs have wrought on talking and listening therapies, and asks what the place of psychoanalysis might be in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET |
