Psychoanalysis, Apathy, and the Postmodern Patient - Laurence (French Psychoanalytic Association Kahn - Bog

The postmodern turn underlies a new development in psychoanalysis, which has theoretical and practical implications. Psychoanalysis, Apathy, and the Postmodern Patient involves a detailed reading of the main psychoanalytic texts that mark out this extended development, along with a critical examination of the changes in the major Freudian concepts. At stake are the tenets of infantile sexuality, `psychic reality,¿ unconscious determinism, the fulfilment of unconscious desire and free association.
