Hier geht es um die Wechselbeziehung zwischen der oft krisenhaften äußeren Wirklichkeit und unserem "inneren" Leben. Zu gern werden Probleme, die uns handlungsunfähig machen, auf die Ebene individueller Psychologie reduziert. Wie können wir solche Probleme politisieren? "Psychoanalyse und Revolution" wendet sich an Personen und Gruppen, die gegen eine ausbeuterische und entfremdende Realität kämpfen. Die Beziehung zwischen persönlicher "Innenwelt" und gesellschaftlicher "äußerer" Welt ist für Befreiungs­bewegungen höchst relevant. Das Buch steht der Psychoanalyse weder unkritisch noch ablehnend gegenüber, sondern es macht ihre Kernkonzepte - das Unbewusste, Wieder­holung, Trieb, Übertragung - politisch nutzbar, um die Welt zu ­verändern.

"... well-written and seems to be at a level which would be graspable by most undergraduate and maybe A level students - without neglecting too much the complexities of the use of qualitative techniques ... These characteristics coupled with the fact that each of the authors is an expert in using the particular qualitative techniques they discuss, means that the book can be heartily welcomed."Psychology Teaching Review This book is a collaborative production, based on the experiences of the co-authors in presenting a course over many years in Qualitative Methods to MSc students. All the team are members of staff of the Department of Psychology and Speech Pathology at the Manchester Metropolitan University, and have a wealth of experience in teaching and using qualitative methods.
