Meet the Author: Donald Moss

Wednesday, March 28, 2018

7:30 pm

The Friends of the Brill Library invite you to an evening with Donald Moss, the author of At War with the Obvious: Disruptive Thinking in Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2017).

The author situates each chapter of At War with the Obvious at the border between common and psychoanalytic sense. Cumulatively, the book argues that in order for psychoanalysis to retain its original vitality, it must continuously work against becoming “common sensical”.  Common sense–clinical and cultural– almost invariably obscures the uncommon/unconscious determinants that would expose its insufficiencies.  The most pointed expression of this border tension may be in the chapter, “The Insane Look of the Bewildered Half-Broken Animal.”
