Psychoanalysis for Intersectional Humanity delves into the intricate tapestry of sexual diversities flourishing under the capitalist regime, while also envisioning the ideal characteristics of a psychoanalytic clinic that embraces these diverse perspectives. Ricardo Espinoza Lolas, in collaboration with the Marquis de Sade, delves into the darker aspects of human existence, viewing them not as a detriment to our nature but as an integral part of our quest for a more liberated and inclusive existence. Espinoza Lolas explores various facets of psychoanalysis, feminism, critical theory, philosophy, history, politics, and the arts, in an effort to unravel the intricate interplay between human determination and ego, neurosis, and perversions within the realm of psychoanalysis. The book culminates in a groundbreaking disarticulation of the traditional categories of neurosis, psychosis, and perversions, accompanied by a proposal for a new clinic and a new political paradigm.

This comprehensive work will captivate psychoanalysts in both practice and training, as well as Lacanian clinicians and scholars engaged in the study of psychoanalytic studies, philosophy, and critical theory. By exploring the intersections of gender, race, class, and sexuality, Psychoanalysis for Intersectional Humanity offers a profound exploration of the human psyche and sheds light on the complex dynamics that shape our lives.
