The book "A Political Psychoanalysis for the Anthropocene Age" delves into the intricate realm of climate change politics, exploring how psychoanalysis can contribute to this critical discourse. Presented in two parts, the first section employs a psychoanalytic lens to examine the political-economic realities of the Anthropocene age and their profound impact on shaping Western political selves. Author Ryan LaMothe identifies the core illusions of the Western psyche, shedding light on how they shape behavior, relationships, and emotional responses to climate change, including eco-mourning and eco-denial. Through a psychoanalytic and philosophical lens, the book explores various topics such as political dwelling, sovereignty, political violence, and change, as well as climate obstacles like capitalism, nationalism, and imperialism. It also delves into the challenges of hope in the face of climate change.
In the second part of the book, LaMothe examines the role of psychoanalysis in the public-political realm and proposes how a psychoanalytic political perspective can invite reforming the education and practice of psychoanalysis. He advocates for a more interdisciplinary approach that incorporates insights from political science, sociology, and environmental studies to better understand the complex dynamics of climate change and its psychological implications.
"A Political Psychoanalysis for the Anthropocene Age" is a thought-provoking and insightful read for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and anyone interested in the politics of climate change. It offers valuable insights into the psychological dimensions of our response to this global crisis and provides a framework for understanding and addressing the challenges we face in the Anthropocene age.
