Biography

Stephen Frosh is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London. He was a consultant clinical psychologist and vice dean at the Tavistock Clinic, London, in the 1990s. He is an academic associate of the British Psychoanalytical Society.

Devorah Baum is Professor in English Literature at the University of Southampton and at the Parkes Institute at Southampton, one of the world’s leading centres for the study of Jewish/ non- Jewish relations.

'In this remarkable volume, Stephen Frosh and Devorah Baum stage an array of mutually transformative encounters between psychoanalysis and Jewish Studies, revealing a complex web of affinities, tensions and histories between the two. From the Biblical figures of Isaac and Jonah to the Rabbis of the Talmud, Viennese photographer Edmund Engelman to Stanley Kubrick and Philip Roth, Jewish self-hatred to fear of the other, no previous volume has brought  so vividly and comprehensively to life the many sources of ongoing fascination between these two bodies of thought and experience.'

Josh Cohen, Psychoanalyst and Professor of Modern Literary Theory at Goldsmiths University, UK
