Schneider challenges Freuds assumption of universal psychic structures, arguing instead that neurosis reflects the contradictions and alienations of capitalist society. From this perspective, psychoanalysis becomes a map not only of the mind but of the political economy of consciousness itself.
Neurosis and Civilization thus extends the critical legacy of the Frankfurt School, presenting the function of psychoanalysis as a potential weapon in the class struggle, as described by the Times Literary Supplement. The book offers a disciplined yet provocative account of how human repression and social structure mirror one another a theme resonant with the wider efforts of twentieth-century critical theory to unite personal liberation with collective emancipation.
