Description
Lacanian Psychoanalysis: A Clinical Casebook by Danièle Brillaud explores the key concepts in Jacques Lacan's Écrits through real-life clinical cases. This book provides an introduction to Lacanian theory and practice, demonstrating how clinical work and conceptual formalisation are intertwined. Brillaud examines a range of psychiatric disorders, including delusional misidentification syndromes, paranoid psychosis, schizophrenia, hypochondria, and fetishism, among others. Her approach highlights the roots of Lacan's thought in classical French psychiatry and brings out the clinical relevance of his references to linguistics, literature, and topology. This book is suitable for students of psychoanalysis, clinical psychology, and psychiatry seeking a deeper understanding of Lacan's work and its application in clinical practice, as well as experienced clinicians looking to diagnose and treat patients using Lacanian psychoanalysis.
