Clinical Lacan (Lacanian Clincial Field) 1st edition

Joel Dor brings practicality and clinical liveliness to Lacanian psychoanalysis. In this companion text to Introduction to the Reading of Lacan, Dor focuses on the concept of the psychic structures of desire. Using case examples, he explains the crucial difference between symptoms and the actual psychic structure of the subject, a structure that can only be revealed through the discourse of the patient in the psychoanalytic situation.
