Coda: An interview with Bob Young

Psychoanalysis, Science and Power reexamines the current state of psychoanalysis and science and technology studies as they have been influenced by Robert Maxwell Young's work. Young urged that psychoanalysis, particularly in its Kleinian incarnation, illuminated new aspects of science and technology studies, and vice versa.

Kurt Jacobsen is co-editor of Free Associations journal and research associate in the Political Science Department at the University of Chicago, USA. He also is an award-winning documentary filmmaker.

R. D. Hinshelwood is a Fellow of the British Psychoanalytical Society, previously Professor at Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex (now Emeritus, Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies), UK. He was Consultant Psychotherapist in the NHS for many years, and Director of the Cassel Hospital, 1993-1997. He has a long association with Free Associations journal.
