Today's episode of Rendering Unconscious Podcast welcomes Daniel José Gaztambide, visiting assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the New School for Social Research and practicing psychologist. His new book A People’s History of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation Psychology reviews the oft-forgotten history of social justice in psychoanalysis. Starting with the work of Sigmund Freud and the first generation of left-leaning psychoanalysts, Gaztambide traces a series of interrelated psychoanalytic ideas and social justice movements that culminated in the work of Frantz Fanon, Paulo Freire, and Ignacio Martín-Baró. Through this intellectual genealogy, Dr. Gaztambide presents a psychoanalytically informed theory of race, class, and internalized oppression that resulted from the intertwined efforts of psychoanalysts and racial justice advocates over the course of generations and gave rise to liberation psychology.
