Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis [non credit]
Nicolas Pantaleoni
Description
In the theory of Jacques Lacan, we find something extremely subversive in relation to intuitive thinking, psychological ideals, and neuroscientific thought. The Lacanian clinic requires that one is prepared to think counterintuitively. The aspect that is most subversive about a Lacanian theory—and therefore a Lacanian clinic—is topology, which is very often left aside. This clinical introduction will attempt to introduce, even if superficially, the function of topology. The road to such a goal is not without a few digressions along the way. Psychoanalysis is a field in constant exchange with logic, mathematics, linguistics, anthropology, and history, among others.
