A manifesto by Ian Parker and David Pavón-Cuéllar

What is revolutionary about psychoanalysis, and why should those of us concerned with political praxis take it seriously? This manifesto is an argument for connecting social transformation with personal liberation, showing that the two aspects of profound change can be intimately linked together using psychoanalysis. The manifesto explores what lies beyond us, what we keep repeating, what pushes and pulls us to stay the same and to change, and how those phenomena are transferred into clinical space. This book is not uncritical of psychoanalysis, and transforms it so that liberation movements can transform the world.

Different specially-commissioned prefaces to the manifesto will appear in the locally translated and published versions around the world. The ‘background reading’ section of the book is available (in English) here.
