The Routledge International Handbook of Psychoanalysis and Jewish Studies is an innovative, multidisciplinary volume covering the history, religion, culture, and politics of Jewish studies and psychoanalysis.
An international team of contributors brings together these two fields and offers a critical assessment of the encounters that emerge from the confrontation and collaboration they have with each other. Chapters cover a broad range of topics including psychoanalytic history, critical theory, film, ritual, Jewish heritage, Bible, antisemitism, racism, life-writing, and the occult.
This Handbook will be of interest to practitioners and researchers in several interrelated disciplines, such as psychoanalysis, group analysis, sociology, anthropology, psychosocial studies, literature, film and gender studies. It will be of especial value to students of psychoanalytic and psychosocial studies.
''In this remarkable volume, Stephen Frosh and Devorah Baum stage an array of mutually transformative encounters between psychoanalysis and Jewish Studies, revealing a complex web of affinities, tensions and histories between the two. From the Biblical figures of Isaac and Jonah to the Rabbis of the Talmud, Viennese photographer Edmund Engelman to Stanley Kubrick and Philip Roth, Jewish self-hatred to fear of the other, no previous volume has brought so vividly and comprehensively to life the many sources of ongoing fascination between these two bodies of thought and experience.''
