Jamieson Webster, Patricia Gherovici & Lynne Tillman: 'Case by Case: Psychoanalysis and the Political'
12 Nov 2026 - 19:00 | 192 Books, New York
Join us at 192 Books for the book launch of Case by Case: Psychoanalysis and the Political with authors Jamieson Webster & Patricia Gherovici, in conversation with writer Lynne Tillman
Freud’s ‘talking cure’ and its offshoots are more widespread today than ever. But as the divisive issues of our time grow more urgent, a contentious question persists: must psychoanalysis remove itself from politics altogether in order to be effective? Or is it inherently political? Specific disagreements about how clinicians should or shouldn’t engage with imperialism, violence, race, and gender identity point to the broader question of where politics is situated in our psychic life. Is it on the periphery – a symptom or displacement – or right at the heart of the matter?
Seating is limited and will be first come, first served.
