Negativity in Psychoanalysis (eBook, ePUB)

Theory and Clinic

Redaktion: Rousselle, Duane; Murphy, Mark Gerard

Beschreibung

Negativity in Psychoanalysis examines the role of negativity in psychoanalytic theory and its application in clinical settings.

While theories around negativity and death drive have become routinized within philosophical interpretations of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, they often mask an inherent positivity. This volume assembles highly esteemed psychoanalytic theorists and clinicians for an in-depth discussion on the topic. It features comprehensive introductions to Freudian and Lacanian perspectives, alongside contemporary clinical and cultural issues. The book also investigates how psychoanalytic negativity influences and is influenced by social, theological, and philosophical dialogues.

This work will prove invaluable for practicing psychoanalysts and those in training, while also appealing to academics and scholars in critical and cultural theory, continental and post-continental philosophy, and sociology, especially those whose research intersects clinical and theoretical traditions.

Rezensionen

"The use of the notion of negativity in psychoanalysis is double-edged: while it definitely remains the philosophical concept which provides the key to what Freud called death-drive, it simultaneously opens up the path to the philosophical colonization of psychoanalysis - psychoanalytic theory is de facto reduced to another version of "philosophy of negativity" with no links to clinical experience. Here the volume edited by Murphy and Rousselle sets the record straight: it articulates negativity as a concept immanent to psychoanalytic experience and practice, as well as in our social reality. For this reason alone, it deserves to be read by thousands!" - Slavoj Zizek, Professor, European Graduate School; International Director, Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, Birkbeck College, University of London; senior researcher, Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
