Lacanian Psychoanalytic Writings

Lacanian Psychoanalytic Writings: The Littoral Word presents cutting-edge Lacanian psychoanalytic thought by leaders in the field. Each chapter is written by authors who, in one way or another, take up Jacques Lacan’s observation that each psychoanalysis invents psychoanalysis anew. They bring to the field not an orthodoxy but a rigorous singularity which continues to be pertinent to what Freud described as the malaise of civilisation. Megan Willliams brings together important work by Jean Allouch, Christian Fierens and members of the Freudian School of Melbourne, exploring themes of madness, hysteria, sexuality and language through a Lacanian lens. This essential collection will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and psychiatrists. It will also be of interest to academics and scholars of philosophy, cultural studies, literature and linguistics who engage with psychoanalytic theory.
