Through vivid clinical cases and interdisciplinary theory, the book demonstrates how psychoanalytic techniques can restore depth to a flattened psychic field, tracing how identity is shaped by algorithms, desire circulates within feedback loops, and mourning unfolds in a world where absence can be endlessly deferred. The book also addresses the ethical complexities of online therapy, asking how presence and truth can be sustained in digitally configured encounters. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how technology amplifies both defensive mechanisms and creative adaptations, requiring clinicians to engage with patients whose psychic lives are deeply entwined with digital environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on Lemma's extensive clinical experience, this book is key reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and anyone wanting to understand how technology has shaped our psychic life and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandra Lemma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041217749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041217749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.57d","brand":"Alessandra Lemma","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447140692223,"sku":"9781041217749","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4844ae01-c88a-4c2d-934d-3ab4eb24e0ef.jpg?v=1777229105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/psychotechnical-becomings-alessandra-lemma-9781041217749","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
