"In this fine volume, ably edited and introduced by Roger Frie, ten psychologists and psychoanalysts consider the nature of agency and autonomy in our post -- postmodern age. Without jettisoning valuable insights, they move beyond deconstruction to a more balanced position -- one that puts the self in its place while still giving it its due. This timely book dovetails with current debates about the embodied and embedded nature of the person; it should have a major impact on current theory and practice in both psychology and psychoanalysis."--Louis Sass, author of Madness and Modernism and The Paradoxes of Delusion
Roger Frie is Associate Professor of Educational Psychology and Human Development, Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, and Faculty, William Alanson White Institute, New York. His recent books include Understanding Experience: Psychotherapy and Postmodernism and Psychotherapy as a Human Science.
