Join author, activist, and academic Dr Lara Sheehi to discuss her new book, From the Clinic to the Streets. She will be in conversation with psychotherapist and author Foluke Taylor

Arguing for a new, liberatory psychoanalysis, Sheehi calls for us to harness its radical power from the clinic to the streets.

Practising psychoanalytic clinician Lara Sheehi creates a thrilling argument for how seizing the means of psychoanalysis can transform it into one of many tools in the service of revolution, showing how psychoanalysis can help unpack how psychological and emotional processes are mobilised by political power, capitalism, the state, oppression, and even genocide.

Lara Sheehi is a Research Fellow at the University of South Africa's Institute for Social and Health Sciences, a licensed clinical psychologist, and the host of the Psychic Militancy podcast. Lara’s work focuses on psychoanalysis, the psychic refusals central to liberation struggles and life-making in the Global South, the psychic dimensions of resistance and revolution, and critical Zionism studies.

Books and refreshments from Round Table’s Bar will be available for purchase on the night
