Forrester's scholarly approach directs attention to the subtle consensi which generate the ambitions of the psychoanalytic enterprise in its bid for accountability...This work is both historically precise and far-reaching in moral disposition, since in challenging a notional 'exchange of truth' Forrester raises larger issues than those commonly exercised in relation to analysts' discussion of codes of practice. -- Tessa Adams "British Journal of Psychotherapy" This book along with "Dispatches from the Freud Wars " ...present s a series of eight wide-ranging but interconnected essays.

The importance of lying and the need for us all to lie lies, so to speak, at the very heart of psychoanalysis.

The subconscious was the residence of true personality, of truth itself. But what if the person on the couch starts telling lies?...Forrester's exploration of this delicate game is not for beginners, but that is not to say that it is unduly abstruse.

Reseña del editor:
Lying on the couch, the patient must tell all. And yet, as the psychoanalyst well knows, the patient is endlessly unable and unwilling to speak the truth. This perversity at the heart of psychoanalysis, a focus on intimate truths even as the lines between truth and lies are being redrawn, is also at the centre of this book of essays by the historian of psychoanalysis John Forrester. Continuing the work begun in "Dispatches from the Freud Wars", this book offers a philosophical and historical perspective on the mechanics, moral dilemmas, and implications of psychoanalysis. Lacan observed that the psychoanalyst's patient is, even when lying, operating in the dimension of truth. Beginning with Lacan's reading of Freud's case history of the Rat Man, Forrester pursues the logic and consequences of this assertion through Freud's relationship with Lacan into the general realm of psychoanalysis and out into the larger questions of anthropology, economics, and metaphysics that underpin the practice. His search takes him into the parallels between money and speech through an exploration of the metaphors of circulation, exchange, indebtedness, and trust that glide from one domain to the other. These essays aim to provide an understanding of the uses and abuses and the significance of truth telling and lying, trust and confidence as they operate in psychoanalysis and in the world of the self and society that it seeks to know.
