Paradoxes in Lacanian Psychoanalysis
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-14084-1 (ISBN)
Building on Freud’s and Lacan’s own work in resolving paradoxes, Yehuda Israely considers psychic distress, and its amelioration, by means of the study and clarification of the many life situations that can be described as paradoxical. Among the paradoxes examined in this book are the nature of longing (the object’s presence in its absence), the wholeness of the broken heart (the subject’s existence in relation to the lack that defines her or him), drives (the more you feed it, the hungrier it gets) and the pangs of conscience (the righteous suffer). Israely’s innovative approach considers several questions which can be used to orient treatment and focuses on shedding the erroneous beliefs and assumptions that can lead to dead ends. Paradoxes in Lacanian Psychoanalysis also explores those paradoxes – involving anxiety, perplexity, wonder and creativity – that cannot and are not meant to be resolved.
This fascinating book will be essential reading for Lacanian psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and for psychoanalysts and psychotherapists of other theoretical backgrounds who are interested in understanding the nature of paradoxes.
Yehuda Israely is a clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst and author based in Israel. He is Director of the Moebius Institute in Tel-Aviv, member of the Tel-Aviv Forum of the International Forums of the Lacanian Field and his previous publications include Lacanian Treatment: Psychoanalysis for Clinicians (Routledge).
