商品簡介
For anthropologists and psychoanalysts, Mimica (anthropology, U. of Sydney, Australia) brings together nine essays on psychoanalysis and ethnography that focus on the human culture as explored through psychoanalytic practice and ethnographic projects. The authors, who are psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, ethnographers, and political scientists, present anthropological work based on psychoanalysis. They consider the realities of the human condition and specific subjects such as cultural differences and psychoanalysis, human intersubjective relations among the Iatmul people of Papua New Guinea, and the father-son relationship among the Yagwoia people there. Other topics are Parintin shamanism, the Yaka people of the southwestern Congo, twentieth century Western psychiatric and psychoanalytic outlooks on mental health, the negative and the unconscious, and the dynamics of the religious experience. Both subjects and names are indexed. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
