Abstract:
In this article, the notion of dwelling is considered from a psychoanalytic developmental perspective, as well as in terms of the political dimension of life. The author contends that a psychoanalytic portrayal of dwelling should not lose sight of the political-economic realities implicated in experiences of being unhoused, especially when we consider the possibility that climate change, which human beings have caused, is likely to unhouse millions of species, including human beings. Given this, the author briefly indicates what this means for psychoanalytic therapy in the Anthropocene Era.
