In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined once again by the Marxist philosopher Daniel Tutt to talk about his book Psychoanalysis and the Politics of the Family.

In his book, Daniel Tutt presents critiques of both Family Abolitionists and provides a critical history of the modern nuclear family and how it changed under capitalism. He engages with the theories of Christopher Lasch, Jaques Lacan, Freud, Rene Girard, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, and various Marxist Feminist theorists.
