Social Aspects of Psychoanalysis is part of the debate on the relationship between ideology and psychoanalysis, Marxism and psychoanalysis, and outlines the importance of this polemic for a true change in the human situation. From Marx and Freud to Jean Paul Sartre, Ernst Bloch, and Herbert Marcuse, the author reviews the main elements of the discussion and breaks down the different factors involved in psychoanalytic practice: from the theoretical elements (transference, countertransference, repression, narcissism, and culture) that serve as tools for the analyst, to the specific situations of the analyst and the patient, as social beings who possess a particular situation within economic relations and struggle to survive in a common society.
