In the book review of “Cyclical Psychodynamics and the Contextual Self” by Amber M. Trotter, and Andrew Harlem (Psychoanalytic Psychology, , Vol 33, No.3, pp. 525-529. dx.doi.org), there was an error in the 10th paragraph. The paragraph should have read as follows:
“While Part 1 of Cyclical Psychodynamics lays out its author's conception of psychoanalysis, the second half (Part 2) is dedicated to drawing out its implications for the broader social world. It is here that the book comes most fully to life. Wachtel argues that psychoanalysis has much to contribute to our understanding of sociopolitical life, turning his attention most squarely to the issues of race, class, greed, and the “social construction of desire.” Extending psychoanalytic thinking into these realms is, for Wachtel, not simply a matter of personal passion; rather, he views it as a responsibility, a necessity. “Neurotic misery,” he writes, “is not the only treatable source of suffering that can be subtracted from the sum of everyday unhappiness that we mere mortals can avoid” (p. 195).”
