Ideas in Psychoanalysis is a series of essays which explain psychoanalytical concepts, their relevance to everyday life and their ability to illuminate the nature of human society and culture. Our drives and desires, according to Freud, do not merely motivate our actions. It is through them that we invest value in our world, and come to recognise ourselves within it. Freud's infamous centring of sex within psychoanalysis is explained by his idea of the libido; where it comes from, what it does and to where it may lead.
Roger Kennedy is a consultant psychotherapist at Cassel Hospital, honorary senior lecturer in Psychiatry at Imperial College, training analyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society and the author of several books and many papers on psychoanalysis.
