Description
Lacan on Depression and Melancholia offers a nuanced exploration of depression and melancholia through a psychoanalytical lens. This collection of essays examines the complex interplay between neurotic conflicts, clinical practice, and personal understandings of these conditions. The contributors to this book delve into key concepts such as object a, the Other, desire, and the superego, highlighting their relevance in clinical settings. They also discuss topics like bereavement, mourning, transference, suicidality, excessive creativity, and manic-depressive psychosis, shedding light on the intricacies of melancholic identification and neurotic inhibition. This book is a valuable resource for psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, Lacanian clinicians, and scholars of Lacanian theory, providing essential insights into the clinical value of Freudian and Lacanian concepts.
