‘Psychoanalytic Mythologies’ presents a collection of essays on the theme of what it is to be a human subject in a culture permeated by psychoanalytic imagery. The author’s attempt to disturb the strongly-held belief of those in thrall to psychoanalysis that it is universally true forms the recurrent motif that binds these essays together.

‘In this innovative work, Parker attempts to replicate the structure of Roland Barthes’ seminal ‘Mythologies’. His strategy in doing this is to demonstrate how psychoanalytic discourse is all around us, in society and in culture, influencing our lives, and discoverable in the most unexpected places. He presents a series of short, anecdotal and observational chapters (much in the style of Barthes) in which these processes are revealed. This works very well as both an engaging reading experience and a persuasive mode of argument.’ —Graeme Pedlingham, ‘The Year’s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory’ 2011
