What is the legacy of Anti-Oedipus today, 51 years after its publication? A major inspiration for feminist and critical theories, and a vector for rethinking sexual politics, Anti-Oedipus directed its scathing critique towards “psychoanalysm” (Robert Castel) and the reduction of psychoanalysis to familialism. Politicizing desire meant including its social, economic, and cultural dimensions into the theoretical and practical field. However, in order to immanently build up their arguments, Deleuze and Guattari engaged precisely with the milieu of critical psychiatry, viz. institutional psychotherapy.
