DOWNLOAD EBOOK"What makes someone a psychoanalyst? Moustapha Safouan, one of France's foremost psychoanalytic thinkers, argues that Jacques Lacan's notorious attempt to transform the process of training was the wholly appropriate, even if finally unsuccessful, response to a stifling institutional legacy which prevails to this day. Only a radical reappraisal of the training process will give back to psychoanalysis its true inspirational status. In her introduction, critic and feminist Jacqueline Rose argues in turn that by ignoring the question of training, recent interest in psychoanalytic theory in the humanities has severed psychoanalysis from the most political aspects of its history."--BOOK JACKET.
