This is the first book that looks at Lacanian psychoanalysis in the context of the clinic. Benvenuto draws on her twelve years of clinical practice to develop a novel perspective on the work of Lacan.

Bice Benvenuto is the author of several previous books including The Works of Jacques Lacan: An Introduction (co-authored with Roger Kennedy, Free Association Books, 1986). The author is a member of the Ecole Europeenne de Psychanalyse (Paris) and has been practising and teaching psychoanalysis in London for the last 12 years.
