The unconscious? The Oedipus complex? The castration complex? Neurosis? The objet a?
What are they?
And what does one say to an analyst? What happens during an analysis?
For those asking questions about psychoanalysis, Confessions from the Couch gives clear and simple answers.
The principal psychoanalytical notions, both Freudian and Lacanian, are explained and illustrated with chosen extracts from actual analytical sessions.
Valérie Blanco has brilliantly used an everyday language to explain concepts that can be difficult to grasp.
This book is accessible to everybody. It offers a riveting opening into psychoanalysis and allows the reader a glimpse of actual psychoanalytical practice.
Valérie Blanco, the author, is a French psychoanalyst. She studied at the department of Psychoanalysis at Paris 8.
Jane Hodgson-McCrohan, the translator, is English and has been living in Paris for more than 20 years. She also studied psychoanalysis at the University of Paris 8.
