Reviews
Orthodoxy may be a lethal poison for theoretical and practical psychoanalysis, but all that is unorthodox is not for all that heretical. This book delineates the subtle game Lacan has played with these crisscross lines. Was Lacan himself an 'heretic'? Is RSI a true 'heresy'? What is the status of the assertion that there is no sexual relation in the Freudian field? Through very different approaches, the consistency of analytic knowledge is questioned here. How can the transmission of psychoanalysis occur within the framework of a school? How does the Oedipus complex work? What about the totemic father? The approach to these questions reflects the singularity of the Freudian School of Melbourne, its way of welcoming knowledge from abroad and building original (but not so heretical) perspectives on psychoanalysis. Guy Le Gaufey, French psychoanalyst, former member of the Ecole freudienne de Paris, co-founder of the first French Lacanian Revue Littoral and former director of the Ecole lacanienne de psychanalyse.
