Overview

Psychoanalysis is and always has been a value-infused rather than a value-neutral science. This book combines a critical sociological and a psychoanalytic perspective. A 'flight from guilt' can be observed in both our wider culture, and in psychoanalysis. On one hand, we see what one psychoanalyst called "the syndrome of compromise of integrity"; immorality, narcissism, and the flouting of the law. On the other, an authoritarian identification with the superego. In order to resolve moral confusion, our biologically-grounded conscience needs to be differentiated from the socially constructed superego. This book is unique in its stress on this need to differentiate conscience from superego. It will be of interest to psychoanalysts, social scientists, philosophers and theologians.
