- Summary:
- What happens when western psychoanalysis and the non-west come face to face? Is there a mismatch between the concepts of psychoanalysis and the context of the non-west? Is western psychoanalysis at all possible in a non-Western society such as India, with its different family system, religious beliefs, and cultural values? Is the mental life of an Indian subject radically different from that of the Western counterpart? This volume of psychoanalyst Sudhir Kakar's selected worked unfolds his own psychoanalytic journey, across east and west.
