What's culture got to do with psychoanlaysis? According to
Muriel Dimen and
Stephen Hartman, a whole lot. Dimen, editor of
With Culture in Mind: Psychoanalytic Stories (Routledge, 2011), and Hartman, a contributor to the same, note that "culture is always already there." Therefore culture and the clinic cannot be two separate places but must be, as our guests say, "interimplicated," or folded together. With their diverse academic backgrounds, Dimen and Hartmen are the perfect pair to explain just how they are so folded and why it matters to psychoanalytic practitioners.
