ABSTRACT

Clinical Encounters and the Lacanian Analyst presents interviews with Lacanian analysts, exploring their professional development and the effects that their patients have had on them.

Dries Dulsster interviews leading Lacanian psychoanalysts, asking them for insights on the formative effects of working with their analysands. By asking "Who's your Dora?", Dulsster invites the interviewees to reflect on the patients who have changed their practice or influenced the development of key theories.

Clinical Encounters and the Lacanian Analyst will be of great interest to practicing and training Lacanian analysts, as well as to Lacanian scholars and academics.
