From its peculiar birth in Freud s self-analysis to its current
state of deep crisis, psychoanalysis has always been a practice
that questions its own existence. Like the patients that risk
themselves in this act it is somehow upon this threatened ground
that the very life of psychoanalysis depends. Perhaps
psychoanalysis must always remain in a precarious, indeed ghostly,
position at the limit of life and death?Jamieson Webster argues
that the life and death of psychoanalysis hinges on the question of
desire itself, bringing this question back to the center of
psychoanalytic theory and practice. Pursued through her own
relation to the field, she recounts the story of her training
through the interpretation of three significant dreams, as well as
her encounter with three thinkers for whom the problem of
psychoanalysis remains crucial: Adorno, Lacan, and Badiou. In
blurring the line between the personal and the theoretical, this
book explores how one, through the difficult work of transference
and reading, can live out the life of desire that tests the very
limits of what it means to be human."
