About this book
On the Theory and Clinic of Lacanian Psychoanalysis presents conversations with clinicians about their research interests, and their experiences in relation to psychoanalytic practice, focusing particularly on clinical and theoretical issues surrounding Lacanianism.
This book is the result of several years of conversations with experienced psychoanalysts (who are also trained psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychotherapists) about their work in clinical practice. Each discussion explores not only the formation of each clinician, but also topics central to clinical work including transference, dreams, desire, trauma, poverty, and sexuality. Complemented by On the History and Transmission of Psychoanalysis, this book of conversations conveys the diversity of theoretical and clinical perspectives inspired by Lacan's system of thought, and the importance of psychoanalytic theory in the milieu of contemporary "mental health".
This important addition to the discourse will be of great interest to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts as well as academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies.
