Psychoanalysis Under Occupation

This work delves into the intersection of psychoanalysis and colonial occupation, offering a nuanced perspective that challenges traditional frameworks. It draws heavily from the insights of Frantz Fanon, emphasizing the psychological impacts of colonialism on both individuals and societies.

Through a critical exploration of decolonial theories, the authors not only highlight the enduring effects of oppression but also advocate for a liberatory practice that acknowledges these dynamics. Readers are invited to reflect on the profound consequences of living under occupation, reshaping their understanding of mental health and identity in such contexts.

The authors, Lara and Stephen Sheehi, skillfully weave together theory and lived experience, making a compelling case for the relevance of psychoanalysis in contemporary discussions about power, resistance, and healing. Their unique approach offers a radical rethinking of how mental health can be understood and addressed in occupied spaces.
