Fanon and Psychoanalysis with Derek Hook

For the return of the show, Richard talks to professor of psychology and psychoanalyst Derek Hook about his book, Fanon, Psychoanalysis, and Critical Decolonial Psychology. We discuss the various waves of reception of Frantz Fanon and the recent turn to his clinical writing, the notions of the psycho-political and the sociogenic unconscious — the idea that the unconscious is shaped by social and political forces, most notably colonialism and its legacy — and the vital importance of his thought for the practice of psychoanalysis today.
