The Digital Age on the Couch seeks to understand more about how new technologies interact with the prerogatives of an individual¿s internal world, how they may alter psychic structure itself in fundamental ways and the implications this may have for the individual¿s functioning and for the operation of society.

Produktbeschreibung
The Digital Age on the Couch seeks to understand more about how new technologies interact with the prerogatives of an individual¿s internal world, how they may alter psychic structure itself in fundamental ways and the implications this may have for the individual¿s functioning and for the operation of society. This book attempts, from the perspective of a working clinician, to make some sense of this. The impact of mediation via technology and the consequent disintermediation of the body represent central themes throughout, as they impact on the experience of embodiment, on the `work of desire¿ and on the way new media influences psychoanalytic practice.

Rezensionen
"Whenever one reads Alessandra Lemma one can always expect to be confronted with original and unexpected viewpoints. She is both a classical and post-modern psychoanalyst who, with clinical acumen and theoretical rigor, never abandons the mainstream of psychoanalysis. Professor Lemma explores contemporary questions with the depth and breadth of direct clinical experience. This latest offering examines psychoanalysis in times of techno-culture - an essential read for all clinicians as we grapple with this new reality, which is not only in the everday lives of all of us, but is also very present in our clinical practices."-Vincenzo Bonaminio, Adjunct Professor, Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Sapienza, University of Rome, Training and Supervising Analyst of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society and of the IPA, Director, "Winnicott Centre" of Rome.

"Alessandra Lemma has a way of identifying and capturing the core of modern culture. We cannot understand our patients, the people around us or indeed ourselves without understanding better how we have individually and socially adapted to the digital world. This is the essential journey that Lemma takes us on, in an inspiring, beautifully written and moving voyage of exploration. This book is an essential guide for every clinician working with every patient."-Peter Fonagy, Professor of Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Developmental Science, UCL.
