Reviews

Author Information

Leslie Chapman is a psychoanalyst based in north Hampshire, UK. Dr Chapman has a particular interest in trauma and psychosis and how these link to the teachings of the ‘later Lacan’. His clinical work within this field formed the basis for his PhD thesis which was on the topic of traumatic neurosis and its relation to Freudian and Lacanian theory. He also has a great interest in how psychoanalytic ideas can be used within the fields of ideology, politics and culture. Since 2011 he has been actively writing on these subjects, including published journal articles on corporate stress and burnout, the ‘Taylorisation’ of talking therapies, and the cultural trauma of the Great War.
