Psychologization and the Subject of Late Modernity

Jan De Vos's second book on psychologization argues that psychology IS psychologization, a phenomenon traced back from Late-Modernity to the Enlightenment. Engaging with seminal thinkers such La Mettrie, Husserl, Lasch and Agamben, the book teases out the limits of psychoanalysis as a critical tool.

Jan De Vos has a MD in psychology and holds a PhD in philosophy. He has worked as a clinical psychologist and is currently postdoctoral researcher at the faculty of Philosophy and Moral Sciences at Ghent University, Belgium. He has published widely on the topic of psychologization and is author of the book Psychologisation in times of Globalisation (2011).
