This book deals with the chief concepts of psycho-analysis and analyses the conceptual equipment of psycho-analysis--the whole set of concepts which it has gradually evolved in order to account for its own discoveries. It is useful to both the student and the research-worker in psychoanalysis.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Jean Laplanche (1924 - 2012) was described by the journal 'Radical Philosophy' as the most original and philosophically informed psychoanalytic theorist of his day. Studying philosophy under Hyppolite, Bachelard, and Merleau-Ponty, he became an active member of the French Resistance under the Vichy regime. Under the influence (and treatment) of Jacques Lacan, Laplanche came to earn a doctorate in medicine and was certified as a psychoanalyst. He eventually broke ties with Lacan and began regularly publishing influential contributions to psychoanalytic theory, his first volume appearing in 1961. In 1967 he published, with his colleague J.-B. Pontalis, the celebrated encyclopaedia 'The Language of Psychoanalysis'. A member of the International Psychoanalytical Association, co-founder of the Association Psychanalytique de France, emeritus professor and founder of the Center for Psychoanalytic Research at the Universite de Paris VII, and assistant professor at the Sorbonne, he also oversaw, as scientific director, the translation of Freud's complete oeuvre into French for the Presses Universitaires de France.
