In a relatively informal style, Angie Voela interviews Andrew Samuels. In a wide-ranging conversation, they discuss Samuels’ perceptions of the relationship between academic life and political activism, and between political activism and psychotherapy and analysis. There is a clinical focus on the management of political material in the therapy session. Samuels explains why he is so concerned that the role of the individual in progressive politics should be emphasised. Spiritual dimensions of socio-political engagements – referred to as ‘resacralisation’ – also receive attention.
