Joy Damousi considers the changes that increasingly sophisticated drugs have wrought on talking and listening therapies, and asks what the place of psychoanalysis might be in the twenty-first century."--BOOK JACKET.Damousi, Joy is the author of 'Freud in the Antipodes : A Cultural History', published 2001 under ISBN 9781855071124 and ISBN 1855071126.
