This book provides an in-depth examination of Lacanian oriented
psychotherapy and supervision, drawing on a wide range of Lacanian texts
and rich interview data.
Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the Lacanian psychoanalytic
therapeutic process, it next considers this in relation to Lacanian
texts - including, 'The Function and Field of Speech and Language in
Psychoanalysis', 'Direction of the Treatment', 'Lacanian Discourses' and
'Seminar XXIII' - and interview data from ex-analysants and
psychoanalysts.The second part of the book offers the first systematic
discussion of Lacanian supervision.
Through a sophisticated theoretical analysis and unique research
material, Dries Dulsster has created an important reference point for
students, scholars and clinicians that will appeal to those new to
Lacanian practice, and those already deeply involved in it.
