Lacan on Depression and Melancholia delves into the intricate dynamics of clinical, cultural, and personal interpretations of depression, aiming to revamp and enhance psychoanalytical clinical practice. This comprehensive volume showcases the significance of neurotic conflicts as the root cause of depressive affects, the differentiation between neurotic and psychotic structures, the nature of melancholia, and the clinical relevance of Freudian and Lacanian concepts such as object a, the Other, desire, the superego, sublimation, among others. Through a diverse range of clinical and historical cases, the contributors emphasize the practical applications of these concepts.
The book explores various aspects of depression, including bereavement and mourning, transference in melancholia, suicidality and the death drive, excessive creativity, melancholic identification, neurotic inhibition, and manic-depressive psychosis. It serves as a vital resource for psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, Lacanian clinicians, and scholars of Lacanian theory, providing valuable insights and perspectives on understanding and treating depression.
By dissecting and reexamining these understandings of depression, Lacan on Depression and Melancholia contributes to a deeper comprehension of the complexities of mental health and offers valuable tools for practitioners seeking to provide effective care to their patients.
