It encompasses a wide range of topics that revisit the Frankfurt School and its contributions to psychoanalytic social critique.

The book explores theoretical, clinical, and applied investigations into social pathology in relation to new directions in critical cultural discourse from various psychoanalytic perspectives. It brings together internationally acclaimed social political theorists, philosophers, psychoanalysts, cultural critics, and scholars of humanities to examine contemporary issues in social critique that cover a diverse array of topics.

Critical Theory and Psychoanalysis offers valuable insights to philosophers, psychoanalysts, political scientists, cultural theorists, sociologists, psychologists, religious studies scholars, academia, and individuals with a general interest in the humanities and social sciences. It contributes to the ongoing discussion and exploration of critical theory and psychoanalysis, shedding light on their relevance in understanding contemporary social and cultural phenomena.
