Outside the Dream (RLE: Lacan): Lacan and French Styles of Psychoanalysis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138977853)

Originally published in 1983, Martin Stanton has written an intriguing and original guide to French styles of psychoanalysis. He describes the development of psychoanalytic technique and shows how it has transformed the contemporary French literary and philosophical thought and writing, as well as making inroads in the English-speaking cultural world. He argues that psychoanalysis has outgrown the individual setting and needs to evolve new methods of group work - in this respect, he believes, it has a special role to play in educational institutions.
