Summary:

This book introduces and applies Foucault's most important concepts and procedures, and does so specifically for a psychology readership. Drawing on the recently published Collè ge de France lectures "Abnormal" (2003) and "Psychiatric Power" (2006), "Foucauldian Analytics and Psychology" is as useful to those concerned with Foucault's engagement with the "psy-disciplines" as it is to those interested in the practical application of Foucault's critical research methods.
