Edited by Raluca Soreanu, Lizaveta van Munsteren & the FREEPSY collective. Launched in November 2024. First title: István Hollós, My Farewell to the Yellow House (first published in Hungarian in 1927, translated to English by Adrian Courage)
The series ‘Important Little Books in Psychoanalysis’ (edited by Raluca Soreanu, Lizaveta van Munsteren & the FREEPSY collective) will launch radical contributions to psychoanalysis that have not yet been translated into English. Inspired by the early psychoanalytic movement of free clinics, the series brings to the fore socially and politically engaged psychoanalysis, invested in issues such as society’s gaze upon madness, the possibility of collective mental health care, or the structuring nature of race, class or gender for psychoanalytic listening. The authors in this series contribute to rethinking fundamental psychoanalytic concepts and offer innovative answers to the question: what can psychoanalysis do?
The series aims to reimagine psychoanalytic theory and practice as a truly international and polyvocal exercise, one that cannot be reduced to a single language or cultural space, and that insists on the importance of the act of translation. As affordable pocketbooks, we hope the titles of this series will travel far and bring little-known works to psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, medical professionals, critical thinkers and philosophers, but ultimately to everyone interested in the subject.
If you would like to propose a title for the Series, please get in touch with the editors.
