Rezension zu Kultur und Psyche
International Forum of Psychoanalysis, 2013, Vol. 22, No. 2
Rezension von Jan Stensson
Lesen Sie hier Auszüge aus der Besprechung:
»In this book, Kakar has collected eight essays ranging over the
period from 1985 to 2010. The subtitle of the book gives a more
precise direction for what it is about: ›Psychoanalyse im Dialog
mit nicht-westlichen Gesellschaften‹ ... Kakar is in an exceptional
position to discuss this issue. He is Indian by birth and a
practicing psychoanalyst in India, having received his
psychoanalytic training at the Sigmund Freud Institute in
Frankfurt.«
»When I started reading, I did not expect to find anything that
would touch the basic tenets of psychoanalytic theory and practice.
I was wrong. In a gentle way, Kakar juxtaposes psychoanalytic
thinking and theory as it began and evolved in Western cultures,
and what happens in its meeting with Indian culture. From this
aspect, he demonstrates how culturally determined psychoanalytic
theory is.«
»This book is recommended reading for all psychoanalysts and
psychotherapists who want to widen their horizons.«
