Domestication: Domesticity in Relation to Social Psyche & IdentityBy Baruch MenacheWhat does it mean to be domesticated-not socially or politically, but psychologically?In Domestication, Baruch Menache delivers a rigorous philosophical and psychological examination of how consciousness, trauma, sociality, and modern life shape the internal structures of the human psyche. Moving beyond conventional discussions of home, family, or culture, this work reframes domestication as a fundamental process of consciousness formation, fragmentation, and stabilization.Blending philosophy, psychology, psychoanalytic insight, and cultural critique, Domestication investigates how individuals internalize social reality, how trauma is stored and preserved within consciousness, and how familiar structures-family, relationships, institutions, and ritual-both protect and constrain human potential. Menache introduces original frameworks for understanding domesticated consciousness, partial versus wholesome domestication, social buffers, and the limits of therapeutic and social integration.This is not a self-help book, nor a political manifesto. It is a dense, uncompromising work intended for readers interested in philosophy of mind, psychological theory, existential inquiry, trauma studies, and the hidden architecture of social life. The writing demands careful reading and rewards sustained engagement, offering conceptual tools rather than simplified conclusions.Inside this book, readers will explore: Domestication as a psychological and philosophical processConsciousness, memory, and trauma storageSociality, relationships, and the boundaries of intimacyThe domestication of identity, ambition, and desireTherapeutic mending and its risksMedia, culture, and the reproduction of consciousnessDomestication is written for serious readers-philosophers, psychologists, psychoanalytic thinkers, cultural theorists, and anyone seeking to understand how modern life quietly reshapes the inner world.This work stands as a foundational text within Menache's broader philosophical project, offering a penetrating analysis of consciousness, society, and the unseen mechanisms that govern human interiority.
