The Routledge International Handbook of Psychoanalysis and Jewish Studies
About this ebook
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, the Bible, antisemitism, racism, life- writing and the occult.
This Handbook will be of interest to practitioners and researchers in several interrelated disciplines, such as Jewish Studies, 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.
