This book offers a radical alternative to the positive orientation of popular psychology. This book offers in three main chapters a ‘depressive realist’ perspective that explores the structural role of negativity and tragedy in relation to the individual psyche, society, and nature.

“In Negative Psychoanalysis for the Living Dead, Reshe invites us into a world where conventional comforts are set aside, and hard truths are faced head-on. The book tears the soul of the reader apart while profoundly resonating with what we all know but rarely dare to admit. This book stands out as a powerfully pessimistic reflection on existence and love, offering a brutally honest yet invaluable perspective.” (Asijit Datta, Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, Vol. 30 (1), 2025)
