Book SynopsisHas Jacques Lacan's impact on psychoanalysis really been assessed? His formulation that the Freudian unconscious is "structured like a language" is well-known, but this was only the beginning. There was then the radically new thesis of the "real unconscious". Why this step?Searching for the Ariadne's thread that runs throughout Lacan's ever-evolving teaching, this book illuminates the questions implicit in each step, and sheds new light on his revisions and renewals of psychoanalytic concepts. In tracing these, Colette Soler brings out their consequences for the clinic, and in particular, for the subject, for symptoms, for affects, and for the aims of treatment itself. The last section of the book examines the political import of these developments.If many analysts since Freud have dreamt of reinventing psychoanalysis, Colette Soler shows the ways in which Lacan succeeded in this reinvention.Table of ContentsIntroduction -- The Unconscious, Real -- Trajectory -- Towards the Real -- Lalangue, traumatic -- From the transference towards the other unconscious -- The royal road to the RUCS -- The Borromean aleph -- The parlêtre -- Analysis Oriented Towards the Real -- The end pass -- The time that isn’t logical -- Terminable analysis -- Identification with the symptom or … worse -- The identity at the end, its aporias -- A Renewed Clinic -- The status of jouissances -- Symptom of the real unconscious -- The father and the Real -- Towards the father of the name -- Love and the Real -- Political Perspectives -- Dissidence of the symptom? -- Psychoanalysis and capitalism -- Malaise in psychoanalysis -- What does the psychoanalyst want?

Book SynopsisTowards Identity in the Psychoanalytic Encounter addresses the theme of identification and identity in the psychoanalytic clinic as elaborated by Jacques Lacan over the course of his teaching.In psychoanalysis, the subject who is summoned to speak himself is by definition lacking in identity. His question is What am I? but, as he is only represented by his words, his being is always elsewhere, within other words that are yet to come. Thus a paradox: one seeks via speech the identity of a being who, through his speech, is not identifiable. Yet the fact remains, he has a body, and he is riveted to sufferings that psychoanalysis, from Freud to Lacan, identified, which are not accidental, which we call repetition and symptom, and which shift the question of identity because a One, real, is at play in them.Towards Identity in the Psychoanalytic Encounter will be key reading for the study and research of Lacanian psychoanalysis and all practitioners interested Table of ContentsDedication Preface I.
