Synopsis
This book looks at Lacanian psychoanalysis in the context of the clinic. Drawing on her 12 years of clinical practice, Bice Benvenuto offers an exciting and undiscovered Lacan, who helps make sense of our symptoms and our lives. Dr Benvenuto's approach to Lacan in the clinic highlights the way in which the Ancient Mysteries, the unveiling of the Phallus, prefigure discoveries in Lacanian psychoanalysis about the symbol, the feminine and the sacred. Benvenuto brings both the clinical and the symbolic threads together in a theory of feminine sexuality which takes up where Lacan drew the veil. This book should appeal to students, academics and practitioners in psychoanalysis, literary criticism, gender and feminist studies, psychology, philosophy and anyone interested in the practical application of Lacan's work.

Revue de presse
′This book unusually combines the theoretical and the clinical in a poetic style. Since the author′s subjects are myth and psychoanalysis, such an approach is an effective one. I am much taken by the originality of her use of myth in relation to psychoanalysis and the freshness of her detailed discussions: I think her particular achievement is to have made the clinical poetic.′ Elizabeth Wright, University of Cambridge
