The Psychoanalysis of the Absurd offers an interdisciplinary study of Existentialism and Phenomenology and their importance to the clinical work of Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis.
Past scholars have tried to classify psychoanalysis as an intrinsically positivist science, with varying degrees of success. This title creates an interreferential schema which balances the influences of postmodernism, complexity theory, and neuroscience as its key factors.
This book takes psychoanalysis into the 21st Century, examining issues of existentialism, postphenomenology, social media, and death and death anxiety that have gone largely ignored in the psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic literature.
