Von der hinteren Coverseite

This is the first book that looks at Lacanian psychoanalysis in the context of the clinic. Drawing on her twelve years of clinical practice, Bice Benvenuto offers an exciting and undiscovered Lacan, who helps make sense of our symptoms and our lives.

Benvenuto's approach to Lacan in the clinic highlights the way in which the Ancient Mysteries, the unveiling of the Phallus, prefigure discoveries in Lacanian psychoanalysis about the symbol, the feminine and the sacred.

Benvenuto brings both the clinical and the symbolic threads together in a new theory of feminine sexuality which takes up where Lacan drew the veil. This book will appeal to students, academics and practitioners in psychoanalysis, literary criticism, gender and feminist studies, psychology, philosophy and anyone interested in the practical application of Lacan's work.
