Presenting the Past: Psychoanalysis and the Sociology of Misremembering

By Jeffrey Prager

Book Overview

Psychology is the dogma of our age: psychotherapy is our means of self-understanding; and repressed memory is now a universally familiar form of trauma. In this book, Jeffrey Prager, both a sociologist and a psychoanalyst, explores the degree to which we manifest the cliches of our culture in our most private recollections.
