Rickels's \"unmourning\" trilogy, followed by \u003ci\u003eThe Case of California\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNazi Psychoanalysis\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eRickels studies mourning and melancholia within and around psychoanalysis, analyzing the writings of such thinkers as Freud, Nietzsche, Lessing, Heinse, Artaud, Keller, Stifter, Kafka, and Kraus. Rickels maintains that we must shift the way we read literature, philosophy, and psychoanalysis to go beyond traditional Oedipal structures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAberrations of Mourning\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the idea of the crypt has had a surprisingly potent influence on psychoanalysis, and Rickels shows how society's disturbed relationship with death and dying, our inability to let go of loved ones, has resulted in technology to form more and more crypts for the dead by preserving them--both physically and psychologically--in new ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence a.
