This volume gathers together the recent writings of the analysts and members of the Freudian School of Melbourne and the Belgian analyst Christian Fierens, displaying the ongoing interrogation by the School of Lacanian psychoanalysis into its history, theories and practices.
Within the framework of Lacan’s interventions in Freudian psychoanalysis, the book in particular highlights Lacan’s inventions in theoretical discourse and clinical practice, including the no-sexual relation, the discursive structures of language, the school, the cartel and the pass. Theoretical shibboleths such as the Oedipus complex are questioned, while the historical writings of Sabina Spielrein are read and interpreted anew. Chapters also engage with the psychoanalysis of children, the questions posed by the psychoses to psychoanalysis and the intersection of creativity and the arts in new and original ways.
Bringing together a range of expert contributions, this text will be an illuminating resource for scholars and practitioners of psychoanalysis.
Linda Clifton is an analyst and former director of the Freudian School of Melbourne, founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 1977. Taking its direction from the writings of Freud and Lacan, the School pursues the investigation and transmission of psychoanalysis and the training of Lacanian analysts.
