Description

Travels with the Self offers a deep look into the relationship between psychology and cultural history. Using a hermeneutic perspective, Philip Cushman critiques the field to show why understanding the self through a historical lens is necessary for the profession of psychology. This book examines various theories, concepts, and professional activities that are often overlooked from a sociopolitical standpoint. It addresses how psychology connects to major societal issues, ranging from consumerism and racism to political resistance and military torture. By looking at these topics through a historical vantage point, the text provides a different way to view human understanding and professional practice. This work is part of the Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series from Routledge. It is a valuable resource for those studying clinical psychology, sociopolitical issues, or the historical development of psychological theories. It challenges shallow understandings of being human by providing a more complex view of how culture and history shape the individual.
