/530/ Urgent and Immediate and Impossible ft. Christie Offenbacher & Ricky Levitt

On the social turn in psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysts Christie and Ricky talk to Alex and George about their article in issue #5 of Damage, on ill-fated attempts at solving social problems through therapy.

• What is the 'social turn' and is it another case of immediacy?

• Why are the social problems to be dealt with treated as both urgent and impossible to resolve?

• Is this a case of hyperpolitics? Is psychoanalysis actually white supremacy?

• Do the professions need defending? Do they need to accept their limitations?
