Overview

The Papers of the Freudian School of Melbourne, Volume 24 give testament to that quasi - suicidal risk taken by analysts and members of the school, in applying, not a technique, but the Freudian method to their clinical practice, to their seminars, to their writing and to the functioning of the School itself. In pursuing a practice that seeks to avoid the inertia spoken of by Lacan, the contributors to this volume take the risk of encountering the impasses of the clinic today and the incompleteness of Lacanian theory with invention. Being marked by the residue of the psychoanalytic clinic they continue to work their transference to that clinic and to the texts of Freud and Lacan. Included in this volume is a paper by Oscar Zentner, founder of the School as well as translations of papers and extracts from books by analysts from overseas.

Reviews

"""This collection of papers is a perfect demonstration of the Freudian School of Melbourne's vitality. It seeks to prove the idea that Lacan posited at the end of his life: the reinvention of psychoanalysis by someone who has dedicated his life to it (as the title of the first chapter by David Pereira makes explicit). Consequently, these papers provide the most decisive Freudian and Lacanian outcomes (clearly distinguished), which are applied in a practice that takes account of the historical and social sphere in which they evolve. The universality of the few theoretical statements makes sense if and only if these statements are confronted with subjective and cultural particularities. These particularities are felicitously present throughout the book, giving it a character that might be sought in vain in other publications.""--Guy Le Gaufey, analyst in Paris, former member of the �cole Freudienne de Paris, co-founder of the first French Lacanian revue Littoral, and former director"
