In this interview with Dr. Daniel Tutt we discuss his book The Psychoanalysis of the Family, which is an ambitious work aiming to take on the topic of the family from a psychoanalytic perspective with an aim to some of the contemporary political problems of familial organisation. We start with an analysis of the family abolitionist tendencies of the political left, which underestimate the potential of the family as a revolutionary and liberatory potential, as the only haven in a heartless world. From here we focus on different theories of revolution, whether focused on cultural or political, with an emphasis that we need to turn again to a political revolution rather than an emphasis on cultural revolution. With a focus on the family as potentially liberatory and situated in relation to political revolution, psychoanalysis could help us rethink family via the return of Oedipus, the paradoxes of the superego, and the importance of healing trauma.
