At its inception, psychoanalysis rattled basic Western ideas about the psyche, undermining prevailing assumptions about human nature, as well as the structure and function of society. Contorting itself to survive in the post-War United States, however, psychoanalysis became ensconced in the hegemonic medical paradigm, where it perpetuated oppressive social norms. More recently, it has been denounced by empirical medicine and psychology, and largely ignored by outside fields. Academic and clinical psychoanalysis have become divorced, and internal divisiveness threatens the coherence of the latter. Conceiving psychoanalysis as a vital subversive social force may seem far-flung. Yet psychoanalysis' radical features permeate progressive social discourse and continue to attract new generations of thinkers. This dissertation thus asks: is psychoanalysis subversive? This necessitates an investigation of subversion which, though neither exhaustive nor conclusive, suggests that ethics play a vital role. (I define ethics as embodied understandings of "the good," including human flourishing and, ergo, suffering.) Therefore, I explore factors and forces that engage and disrupt prevailing ethical discourse, and assesses psychoanalysis' compatibility with these findings. In order to address psychoanalysis' subversiveness in the particular context of the contemporary United States, I contrast hegemonic American ethical precepts with those implicit in analytic theory. Because I find considerable ground for answering the question "Is psychoanalysis subversive?" affirmatively, I wonder about the gap between this conclusion and the American psychoanalytic community's historical and contemporary engagement in sociopolitical issues. In other words, I reflect upon barriers to psychoanalysis' radical premises being translated into meaningful action.
