Biography
Nick Malherbe is a researcher at Institute for Social and Health Sciences, University of South Africa & South African Medical Research Council-University of South Africa Violence, Injury and Social Asymmetries Research Unit.
'Attentive to the tensions between psychology and psychoanalysis, as well as to the myriad ways these disciplines have been implicated in capitalism’s advance, Malherbe nonetheless makes a powerful and convincing case for the relevance of psychoanalytic insights for the urgent task of anti-capitalist resistance. A timely and important work.'
Dr Joanna Kellond, University of Brighton, UK
'Nick Malherbe’s Psychoanalytic Liberation Psychology: Anti-Capitalist Approaches is a crucial, timely, and significant milestone in the understanding and application of psychoanalytic liberation psychology and decolonial psycho-politics. Focusing on the concepts of political fantasy, the superegoic community, unconsciousness-raising, memory otherwise, and the Not-Yet, Malherbe elegantly emphasises the importance of community activists and political struggle to the future and theoretical value of psychoanalytic liberation psychology in our contemporary conjecture. Malherbe’s Psychoanalytic Liberation Psychology is a laudable and, in many ways, remarkable book.'
