This book provides an in-depth examination of Lacanian oriented psychotherapy and supervision, drawing on a wide range of Lacanian texts and rich interview data. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the Lacanian psychoanalytic therapeutic process, it next considers this in relation to Lacanian texts – including, ‘The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis’, ‘Direction of the Treatment’, ‘Lacanian Discourses’ and ‘Seminar XXIII’ – and interview data from ex-analysants and psychoanalysts.The second part of the book offers the first systematic discussion of Lacanian supervision. Through a sophisticated theoretical analysis and unique research material, Dries Dulsster has created an important reference point for students, scholars and clinicians that will appeal to those new to Lacanian practice, and those already deeply involved in it.
