Beskrivning

On Not Fitting In: Psychoanalytic Rem(a)inders offers a distinctive meditation on contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice through a series of brief, thought-provoking essays.Through a series of interconnected sections exploring the symptom, desire, satisfaction, love, and the cure, Childs weaves together classical and recent perspectives in psychoanalysis. Drawing on a rich tapestry of references, from Freud and Lacan to influential analytic thinkers like Bruce Fink, Adam Phillips, Paul Verhaeghe, and Mari Ruti, alongside philosophical and literary sources, the book presents a mosaic of insights into identity, subjectivity, and social belonging. Deliberately fragmentary in composition, it can be read either sequentially or as individual pieces, offering readers multiple entry points into psychoanalytic thought.On Not Fitting In: Psychoanalytic Rem(a)inders will be of interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, academics and scholars of psychoanalysis, and readers interested in the intersection of psychoanalysis with contemporary life.

“Childs has the ear of a true clinician and the talent of the timely observation. In addition to offering a set of illuminating and accessible explorations of psychoanalytic theory, he portrays a series of clinical moments, some fleeting, some far more momentous, in which a psychoanalytic—or philosophical—concept suddenly aligns with a fragment of subjective history. This elegant volume is a consoling reminder that it is far more frequently the case that we don’t fit in than it is that we do.”—Derek Hook, Associate Professor of Psychology at Duquesne University and author of Six Moments in Lacan: Communication and Identification in Psychology and Psychoanalysis“On Not Fitting In: Psychoanalytic Rem(a)inders is a refreshing collection of essays, insightfully leading the reader on a journey through realms of psychoanalytic thought. It’s a joy to peruse the pages of this unique anthology, which mixes theory and praxis in a poetic yet accessible way.”—Vanessa Sinclair, psychoanalyst and author of Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art: The Cut in Creation
