This book extends the ethics of Lacanian psychoanalysis in the clinic to the symbolic and real beyond the clinic. The position of the analyst in the world is crucial for our time, and this book gathers some of the wisest, clearest voices in our field. - Annie G. Rogers, PhD, psychoanalyst, Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis; Professor Emerita of Psychoanalysis and Clinical Psychology, Hampshire College
An extraordinary collection, which foregrounds and advances the radical progressive impulse that has arguably always been inherent in Lacanian clinical social theory. Moving from questions of political emancipation, capitalist jouissance and Lacan's Marx, to the pragmatic concerns of homelessness, immigrant identity, violence and community mental health - and, of course, the paramount concern of how we might effectively decolonize Lacan - this volume makes an invaluable contribution to how we might reframe and respond to the most pressing socio-political and ideological dilemmas of our times. - Derek Hook, PhD, author, Six Moments in Lacan
These urgent and original essays by experienced clinicians and distinguished scholars reclaim the too often disavowed political power of the unconscious, thus freeing psychoanalysis as a tool for social change. This stellar collection is a work of emancipatory radicality that changes the way we think about and with psychoanalysis. - Patricia Gherovici, PhD, psychoanalyst; author, Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference
