Critical theory draws on Marxism, psychoanalysis, postmodern and poststructuralist
theorists. Marxism and psychoanalysis are rooted in the Enlightenment project, while
postmodernism and poststructuralism are more indebted to Nietzsche, whose philosophy
is rooted in anti-Enlightenment ideas and ideals. Marxism and psychoanalysis contributed
mightily to our understanding of fascism and authoritarianism, but were distorted
and disfigured by authoritarian tendencies and practices in turn. This book, written
for clinicians and social scientists, explores these overarching themes, focusing
on the reception of Freud in America, the authoritarian personality and American politics,
Lacan's "return to Freud," Jordan Peterson and the Crisis of the Liberal Arts, and
the anti-psychiatry movement. Daniel Burston is Associate Professor of Psychology
at Duquesne University, USA, and the author of numerous books and papers on the history
of psychology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis.
