For the first time, English-speaking readers will have access to one of the most influential books published in the discipline in the past 30 years.
Psychoanalysis, Its Image and Its Public is in many ways the founding text of the theory of social representations and is, as such, a modern classic.
Moscovici provides an extensive analysis of the representations of psychoanalysis within the mass media, showing how different interests structure such communication through the different forms of propaganda, propagation and diffusion.
This groundbreaking and fascinating book will be an indispensable text for students and scholars of social psychology.
