New concepts are introduced, such as \u003ci\u003ea father is being beaten\u003c\/i\u003e, and a distinction between the \u003ci\u003edescriptive aprÃs coup\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003edynamic aprÃs coup\u003c\/i\u003e that provides a model for a psychoanalytic understanding of temporality.

Rosine Perelberg’s masterful understanding of the most important French and British psychoanalytic writers is only surpassed by her delicate and acute attunement to her patients, who are described in a language that is at the same time elegant, precise and poetic. Perelberg’s thinking is audacious, creative and innovative. Her book not only gives a powerful insight into an important and original psychoanalytic thinker, but also provides a framework for modern clinical practice. - \u003cb\u003eJean Claude Rolland\u003c\/b\u003e is a Training Analyst of the Association Psychanalytique de France, author, and co-editor of the 30 volumes of Libres Cahiers Pour la Psychanalyse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book shows Rosine Perelberg’s characteristic blend of acute clinical perceptiveness with profound scholarship. Her background in anthropology offers fresh perspectives on the Oedipus complex in non-Western cultures, on Biblical narrative, and on the Holocaust. Culturally and intellectually, this book has a breadth of vision that must enrich any reader. The wealth of ideas is underpinned by vivid clinical examples and, most especially, by a meticulous reading of Freud. However well you know Freud’s writing, you will come away from Rosine Perelberg’s book knowing it better. - \u003cb\u003eMichael Parsons\u003c\/b\u003e, British Psychoanalytical Society, French Psychoanalytic Association\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentral to Professor Perelberg’s illuminating revisitation of the Oedipus complex is the distinction between the Oedipal story that represents the \u003ci\u003emurdered father\u003c\/i\u003e as a universal infantile phantasy, and the Oedipus complex, which represents \u003ci\u003ethe dead father \u003c\/i\u003eas the symbolic third that institutes the prohibition of incest. Perelberg’s scholarly approach to Freud’s texts, combined with her sensitive analysis of clinical material, literary examples, and anthropological references, deepen the meaning of the Oedipus complex. Her compelling reflections on the Holocaust offer insights particularly relevant to our understanding of history. - \u003cb\u003eDonald Campbell\u003c\/b\u003e, Training and Supervising Analyst, Past-President\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eof the British Psychoanalytical Society\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by Gregorio Kohon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART I\u003cbr\u003ePaternal function: Theoretical and clinical considerations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
