Synopsis

In 1931, Freud wrote a letter of thanks for an ivory statuette of Vishnu: "I gave it a place of honour on my desk...". The statuette was a gift from G. Bose, father of psychoanalysis in India. This text brings together the best examples of psychoanalytic engagement with Hindu cultural and social phenomena. Using psychoanalytical tools to examine the alien other throws up interesting questions both about the cultural context of the discipline itself and its relationship with Hinduism. This book is intended for postgraduate students, teachers, and researchers in psychoanalysis and Hinduism.
