Rendering Unconscious welcomes Drs. Lara & Stephen Sheehi back to the podcast! They are here to discuss their book Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine (Routledge, 2021).
On this episode, authors Lara Sheehi and Steven Sheehi discuss their book Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine (Routledge, 2021). They explore the challenges of addressing Palestine in psychoanalytic circles, noting the deflective nature of interventions and the need to center Palestinian voices. They highlight the impact of Amnesty International’s report labeling Israel an apartheid state and the broader shift in psychoanalytic discourse towards addressing settler colonialism. The conversation also touches on the structural and ideological barriers within psychoanalysis that hinder these discussions, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing the daily lived experiences of those under occupation.
