"These days, who still has a soul? asks Julia Kristeva in her psychoanalytic exploration, New Maladies of the Soul. Hailed by Peter Brooks in the New York Times as ""a critic of great psychoanalytic insight,"" Kristeva reveals to readers a new kind of patient, symptomatic of an age of political upheaval, mass-mediated culture, and the dramatic overhaul of familial and sexual mores. The book poses a troubling question about the human subject in the West today: Is the psychic space that we have traditionally known disappearing?"

Reviews for New Maladies of the Soul

Kristeva offers a challenge for psychoanalaysis to open itself up again: to break down from its position of the one who is presumed to know. -- International Journal of Psycho-Analysis
