Dany Nobus Livres

Focusing on Jacques Lacan's contributions within the Freudian tradition, this book re-evaluates his impact on clinical psychoanalysis. It addresses five key themes: diagnosis, the analyst's role, transference management, interpretation formulation, and analytic training organization. By incorporating both published and unpublished works, the author illustrates theoretical principles with clinical examples, making Lacan's ideas more accessible. Additionally, it features the first complete bibliography of Lacan's works in English, serving as a vital resource for psychology and psychotherapy professionals and students.

Exploring the interplay between knowledge and truth in psychoanalysis, Dany Nobus and Malcolm Quinn utilize recent research to offer a comprehensive examination of these concepts. The book delves into the complexities of understanding within psychoanalytic theory and its implications for related fields, encouraging readers to reflect on the nature of knowledge and the limits of understanding. Through this critical lens, the authors invite a reevaluation of established ideas and practices in the realm of psychoanalysis.

The book explores Lacan's theories through nine interconnected chapters, examining their strengths and weaknesses. It delves into critical and often contentious areas of investigation relevant to psychoanalysis and beyond, offering a nuanced perspective on Lacan's contributions to the field.

In this classic work, eight crucial Lacanian ideas are explained through detailed exploration of the theoretical and/or practical context in which Lacan introduced them, the way in which they developed throughout his works, and the questions they were designed to answer. The book does not presuppose any familiarity with Lacanian theory on the part of the reader, nor a prior acquaintance with Lacan's Ecrits or seminars. Originally published in 1998, the ideas within are more relevant than ever and this newly reissued volume will prove invaluable to today's scholars of Lacanian thought.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of Lacan's "Kant with Sade," offering detailed insights into its structure, historical context, and critical reception. It defines key terms and clarifies complex arguments, making it accessible for both newcomers and experts in psychoanalysis, philosophy, and literary criticism.
