Lecture by Prof Derek Hook on how to think with Fanon in the context of psycho-analysis and clinical consulting.
Prof Derek Hook is an Associate professor in Psychology at Duquesne University and an Extraordinary Professor of Psychology at the University of Pretoria and South Africa. Derek Hook is both a scholar and a clinical practitioner of psychoanalysis with an expertise in the psychology of racism, critical psychology and postcolonial theory, particularly in the work of Frantz Fanon.
A significant aspect of his scholarship involves the integration of Frantz Fanon’s theories on race and colonialism with (Lacanian) psychoanalysis, allowing the exploration of the psychological dimensions of racial identity, power and oppression.
