«Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession» is Janet Malcolm's essay, published in 1982 by Picador in paperback (192 pages, in English).
Janet Malcolm portrays Aaron Green, a Freudian analyst in New York, and explores the paradoxes and contradictions of a profession that presents itself as impossible. Malcolm combines reportage and essay to show the tensions between theory and practice and reflect on the limits of psychoanalysis.
This edition is the first British publication; the book originally appeared at Knopf in 1981 and includes a bibliography.
For readers interested in psychoanalysis and narrative journalism.
Janet Clara Malcolm was an American writer, staff journalist at The New Yorker magazine, and collagist who fled antisemitic persecution in Nazi-occupied Prague. She was the author of Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession (1981), In the Freud Archives (1984), and The Journalist and the Murderer (1990). Malcolm wrote frequently about psychoanalysis and explored the relationship between journalist and subject. She was known for her prose style and for polarizing criticism of her profession, especially in her most contentious work, The Journalist and the Murderer, which has become a staple of journalism-school curricula.
