{"product_id":"the-psychoses-jacques-alain-miller-9780415101837","title":"The Psychoses: The Seminar of Jacques Lacan","description":"During the third year of his famous seminar, Jacques Lacan gives a concise definition of psychoanalysis: \u003cstrong\u003e 'Psychoanalysis should be the science of language inhabited by the subject. From the Freudian point of view man is the subject captured and tortured by language.'\u003c\/strong\u003e Since psychosis is a special but emblematic case of language entrapment, Lacan devotes much of this year to grappling with distinctions between the neuroses and the psychoses. As he compared the two, relationships, symmetries, and contrasts emerge that enable him to erect a structure for psychosis.\u003cbr\u003e Freud's famous case of Daniel Paul Schreber is central to Lacan's analysis. In demonstrating the many ways that the psychotic is  inhabited, possessed by language', Lacan draws upon Schreber's own account of his psychosis and upon Freud's notes on this 'case of paranoia'. The analysis of language is both fascinating and enlightening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Lacan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415101832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415101837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.73d","brand":"Jacques Lacan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119669965055,"sku":"9780415101837","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_050d8cbf-85f6-4bec-b660-50debe20549a.jpg?v=1687410371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-psychoses-jacques-alain-miller-9780415101837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
