critical psychoanalysis

Critical psychoanalysis is an approach that combines traditional psychoanalytic ideas with a focus on social, cultural, and political contexts. It explores how unconscious desires and conflicts shape individual behavior while also considering how societal factors influence these inner struggles. This perspective emphasizes the importance of understanding a person's life experiences and social environment, aiming to uncover how power dynamics and cultural narratives affect mental health. By integrating psychology with a critical view of society, it seeks to address both personal and structural issues, promoting a deeper understanding of the human experience.
