The Problem of Psychoanalysts and Psychotherapists

Writer Hannah Zeavin discusses the politics of the psychoanalytic encounter. Specifically she explores the supposed neutrality of the psychotherapist, the relationship between analysis and political organizing, and The Psycho-Social Foundation, the nonprofit educational organization for which she is the founding editor.

Hannah Zeavin is a scholar, writer, and editor whose work centers on the history of human sciences (psychoanalysis, psychology, and psychiatry), the history of technology, and media theory. She is Assistant Professor at Indiana University in the Luddy School of Informatics. Additionally, she is a visiting fellow at the Columbia University Center for the Study of Social Difference and an awardee of the Courage to Dream Prize from the American Psychoanalytic Association.
