Culture/Clinic 1, “We are all mad here”: Applied Lacanian Psychoanalysis Series.

Abstract

This is the first of a series of edited volumes on applied psychoanalysis from the University of Minnesota Press that seeks to demonstrate how useful the theories of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan can be within the domains of culture and the clinic. Even while these domains are invoked as seemingly separate categories here, there is also a simultaneous attempt to show how they are actually structured as a continuum (of both theoretical and practical concerns) within ‘the Freudian field’.
