Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the author, psychoanalytic theory and practice – which discloses ‘the interminable falsity of the human subject’s belief in the mastery of its own mental life’ – is in part responsible for the coming of the postmodern era. In this title, originally published in 1993, Barratt examines the role of psychoanalysis in what he sees as the crisis of modernism, shows why the modernist position – what he calls the ‘modern episteme’ – is failing, and proposes that psychoanalysis should redefine itself as a postmodern method. In Barratt’s innovative account of psychoanalysis, which focuses on the significance of the free-associative process, Freud’s discovery of the repressed unconscious leads to a claim that is basic to postmodern ideas: ‘that all thinking and speaking, the production and reproduction of psychic reality, is inherently dynamic, polysemous, and contradictorious .’ He argues that subsequent attempts to ‘normalize and systematize’ psychoanalysis are reactionary and antipsychoanalytic efforts to salvage the modern episteme that psychoanalysis itself calls into question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Search for Clarity, Jean‐Claude Milner argues that although Jacques Lacan’s writing is notoriously obscure his oeuvre is entirely clear. In a discussion that considers the difference between the esoteric and exoteric works of Plato and Aristotle, Milner argues that Lacan’s oeuvre is to be found in his published writings alone, not his transcribed seminars, and that these published writings contain his official doctrine. Thus, Lacan’s oeuvre is already complete, even though many of his seminars remain unpublished. According to Milner, Lacan’s fundamental idea is that the subject psychoanalysis works on is the subject of science. Milner suggests that this is a supplement to Alexandre Koyré’s and Alexandre Kojève’s accounts of modern science, for which mathematization and a break from the ancient episteme were key. A Search for Clarity is the definitive statement on how Lacan viewed the relationship between psychoanalysis and science, and on how Lacan’s thinking evolved as he struggled to draw out the consequences of the equation he posited between psychoanalysis and science. Milner’s work on Lacan has been essential reading in French for decades. This English translation will make his illuminating work accessible to a broader audience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siguiendo los pasos de los maestros y recuperando los otros saberes aportados, he optado por establecer una trama teorica que realice un lazo entre conceptos, a veces fragmentados, aportando como variante el amplio contexto de descubrimiento que nos remite en Freud a la tradicion hebrea para, desde alli, poder pensar la validacion de su teoria atendiendo a los efectos de su aplicacion, en donde la transferencia abre al campo de la interpretacion como puesta en acto de la dinamica del inconsciente. Por medio del metodo indiciario en este escrito, solo se trata de agregar un detalle a ese decir de que "el Psicoanalisis es una interpretacion a la letra," el cual ampliaria el concepto diciendo: "el Psicoanalisis es una interpretacion a la letra hebrea," lo que implica argumentar una logica en relacion al uso del lenguaje y una fantasmatica ligada a la cultura y tradicion hebreas."

Book excerpt: In Read My Desire, Joan Copjec stages a confrontation between the theories of Jacques Lacan and those of Michel Foucault, protagonists of two powerful modern disciplines—psychoanalysis and historicism. Ordinarily, these modes of thinking only cross paths long enough for historicists to charge psychoanalysis with an indifference to history, but here psychoanalysis, via Lacan, goes on the offensive. Refusing to cede history to the historicists, Copjec makes a case for the superiority of Lacan’s explanation of historical processes and generative principles. Her goal is to inspire a new kind of cultural critique, one that is “literate in desire,” and capable of interpreting what is unsaid in the manifold operations of culture.

The logico-mathematical treatment of the subject is made easy because every concept used is simple and simply explained from first principles. Each renewed explanation of the facts brings the emergence of new knowledge from old material of truly great importance to the clinician and the theorist alike. A highly original book that ought to be read by everyone interested in psychiatry or in Freudian psychology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « L'œuvre de W. Bion a profondément marqué l'évolution de la pensée psychanalytique contemporaine. Homme de grande culture, chercheur infatigable, analyste de patients difficiles (Samuel Beckett, par exemple), il s'est particulièrement intéressé à l'analyse de la pensée psychotique, à ce qui peut rapprocher le “névrotique insensé” et le “fou insensé” et aux obstacles que rencontre l'analyste dans le maniement psychique de la douleur, de l'effroi, de l'incommunicable et de l'inconnaissable. Soucieux d'étayer le statut épistémologique de la psychanalyse, il fut à la recherche d'un outil d'analyse et de formalisation scientifique à l'aide d'une méthodologie qui utilise des modèles physiques et mathématiques. Nourri par l'œuvre de S. Freud et par celle de M. Klein, il a élaboré une théorie psychanalytique très originale de l'activité de pensée et de ses formes les plus précoces, les proto-pensées. W. R. Bion laisse une œuvre considérable, riche et complexe. Tout au long de son œuvre, il est resté ouvert, sans aucun a priori à toute idée qui pouvait l'aider à atteindre les objectifs de sa recherche, ceux de la psychanalyse. » (Préface)

Book excerpt: A psychoanalyst, through training and experience, directs the en tire focus of his attention to registering and internalizing the in put of a patient's communications, listening intently for their implied meanings. It is only by umaveling the mysteries of an un conscious realm of mental activity that it becomes possible to fully comprehend the way in which mental productions are finally ob servable. The psychoanalyst's total personality is the listening in strument, and the messages emanating from this hidden sector most clearly heard, deciphered, and understood are those most resonant with the contents of the psychoanalyst's unconscious. It is probable that a variety of psychoanalysts adopting a listening posture with a given patient would hear and understand a mul tiplicity of different meanings. Over the years, sensitive, well trained psychoanalytic investigators have formulated concepts con cerning mental functioning from disparate and often opposing points of view. These contradictory ideas are offered from a ba sic theoretical foundation placing unconscious mental events as the most important force shaping human experience. Divergent opin ions may at times appear irreconcilable and then serve as the grounds for developing a separate psychoanalytic school of thought. It is not surprising that an exploration of unseen powerful and regressive forces, by a group of scientists with unique in dividual experiences, would yield insights sensitively attuned to a wide variety of important factors determining human develop ment and behavior.

Book excerpt: This is the first volume of an annual dedicated to the study of primitive mental states. We are drawn to and fascinated by the primitive, yet its meanings are multiple and complex. Primitive has been used synonymously with early, original, unorganized, organizing, random, deep, regressed, savage, fundamental, Dionysian, demonic, pregenital, and archetypal, among other terms. Primitive mental states are paradoxically described as highly sophisticated and deeply unsophisticated; as originating in culture or biology; as being spiritual, intrapsychic and intrasubjective. As is clear, though the meaning of primitive cannot be captured by a single definition, it does refer to something powerful, and that something is the subject of this series. With contributions from experts in many different fields, this first volume should be of interest to therapists, students of literature, and anyone interested in exploring the workings of the mind.
