Irreverence and Psychoanalysis: Psychoanalysis in a New Key Book Series

Editat de Jean Petrucelli, Sarah Schoen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 dec 2026
This book explores the role of psychoanalysis as an irreverent discipline—questioning received wisdoms, challenging internal and external constraints, and unearthing links between the outlandish and the transformative.
Psychoanalysis is a field exquisitely suited to embracing complication and contradiction. Irreverence can be complex, as it risks disrespect for what others value or cherish. Yet a willingness to challenge the sacred can expose ideologies and hypocrisies that protect existing power structures both outside and inside the psychoanalytic field. The chapters in this volume span this territory engaging tensions between tradition and change and raising profound questions about what the future holds. From the political to the personal, the psychic to the social, the mind to the body, the voices in this volume, which include some of the most influential thinkers in contemporary psychoanalysis, speak to what is often left silenced or unquestioned.
This is essential reading for all psychoanalysts, as well as for readers across other disciplines, dilettantisms, and curiosities interested in probing the unruly forces that give psychoanalysis its particular power.

Recenzii

'Irreverence and Psychoanalysis is a volume with the bravery to say what psychoanalysis has always known but often forgotten: truth flourishes in unsettlement, creativity is bound up with transgression, and our deepest work relies on the freedom to question what we hold sacred. This book is remarkably vital, bold but not reckless, thoughtful but not timid, and unafraid to venture into the fraught spaces where the political, the personal, and the clinical intersect. Throughout its pages, the authors show how irreverence may be a form of ethical seriousness, a protest against hypocrisy, and an enlivening source of renewal in a world that feels increasingly fragile. It is delightful to encounter a volume that makes one think harder while also allowing us to breathe easier. This one does just that, inviting us to consider irreverence but also to practice it as a mode of more complete encounter with each other and with the field of psychoanalysis itself.'
Tom Wooldridge, PsyD, ABPP, CEDS-C, Professor of Psychology at Golden Gate University, Personal and Supervising Analyst, Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California (PINC), and Training Analyst, San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis (SFCP).
'Irreverence may not win you many friends, but it remains essential to a creative and engaging
life in psychoanalysis. An irreverent approach is not the same as disrespect. One can value established methods, while also questioning their relevance—a dialectic that acknowledges history and precedent.  Today’s psychoanalysis too often splits itself into distinct sects, each claiming its own version of ultimate truth. Yet true irreverence resists this pull toward doctrinal certainty. Instead, it has the potential to invite us into mystery. Analysts are drawn to the experience of awe: the vastness of a star-filled sky, the hush of a cathedral, the paradoxes of quantum physics, the unfathomable nature of consciousness. These encounters with wonder may, paradoxically, carry greater therapeutic potential than the reverent pursuit of conventionally packaged theory.

Drs. Petrucelli and Schoen—two senior analysts and prolific authors— gather a set of stimulating and provocative essays that explore how irreverence engages psychoanalysis’ promise. I am delighted to endorse this work, which closely reflects my own perspective. It is a book that can expand one's outlook and make the analytic enterprise more exciting, more engaging, and ultimately more clinically effective.'

Sigourney Award, Author of over 110 publications, including Fallacy of Understanding (1972), The Ambiguity of Change (1983) and The Purloined Self (2016).
'What a delightful moment for subversion! Petrucelli and Schoen, editors of this wonderful text, invite us to venture beyond the safe and toward the quicksand that surrounds our psychoanalytic field, our country, and the world today. Feast on its riches and treat it like the Italian slow food movement, savor, rather than devour it.  And go back for another tasting menu tomorrow.'
Joyce Slochower, Ph.D., ABPP, Faculty NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis; Author of Psychoanalysis and the Unspoken (2024).
'From Freud’s era to the present, an irreverent aesthetic captures the best of what psychoanalysis has to offer—challenging orthodoxy, deconstructing norms, and questioning received wisdoms. In this important volume, Petrucelli and Schoen bring together a remarkable multiplicity of voices to deftly explore this territory, opening the space between tradition and innovation, past and present, the familiar and the strange. Prepare to be alternately destabilized, enticed, and provoked as these chapters transform what has often felt inevitable into a world of as yet to be imagined possibilities. A profound contribution to the field.'
