Annotation: How did Lacan develop his ideas? How do they affect everyday clinical realities?

Jacques Lacan's work has become a standard reference in gender, women's and cultural studies - yet despite its popularity is frequently being debunked as an impenetrable postmodernist discourse.

Jacques Lacan and the Freudian Practice of Psychoanalysis paints a completely new picture of the man and his ideas. Situating Lacan's contributions firmly within the Freudian tradition of clinical psychoanalysis, the book succeeds in showing how his ideas can become more accessible, and re-evaluates his significance within the field of psychodynamic psychotherapy.

The book is structured thematically around five key issues: diagnosis, the analyst's position during the treatment, the management of transference, the formulation of interpretations, and the organisation of analytic training. For each of these issues, Lacan's entire work, both published and unpublished material, has been taken into account and theoretical principles have been illustrated with clinical examples. The book also contains the first complete bibliography of Lacan's works in English.

Clear, detailed, and wide ranging, Jacques Lacan and the Freudian Practice of Psychoanalysis will prove essential reading, not only for professionals and students within the fields of psychology, psychiatry and psychotherapy, but for all those keen to discover a new Lacan.
