The everyday psychoanalyst: Life and work of Sudhir Kakar

Published : May 01, 2024 20:36 IST - 9 MINS READ My friends talked of the psychoanalyst Sudhir Kakar as a cult figure, the golden boy of Indian psychology, the immaculate conception. One will consider Sudhir’s exploration of sexuality in terms of his later work. One wishes that Sudhir had internalised Raimundo’s work on mysticism as an experience open to democracy. Thinking over Sudhir’s career, one senses a social scientist who lived an exciting life, peopled by powerful characters from Kamla Chowdhry to Erik Erikson. One wishes that there were more stories in Sudhir’s work; one also wishes there were more storytellers like Sudhir: brisk, muscular, but always with a sense of generosity.
