“I am not the only one to have noticed the resurgence of psychoanalysis on the political left over the past several years. Pat Blanchfield, one of the hosts of this pod, was on my radar early. I come to this as a leftist skeptical of psychoanalysis and of Freud in particular (I recommend Sebastiano Timpanaro’s “The Freudian Slip” for a Marxist critique of parapraxis analysis), but the hosts and guests bring warmth, humor, and political commitment to the subject and give a great sense of its contributions (but I would also say its limitations) within radical theory and activism. It is very much worth reading Parapraxis Magazine in conjunction with listening to this excellent podcast.”
