Psychoanalysis and Deconstruction: Freud's Psychic Apparatus
demonstrates the relevance of deconstructive thinking for the
clinical practice of psychoanalysis. Arguing that deconstruction
has been misrepresented as a form of literary theory or a
philosophy of language, the book puts Derrida, Heidegger and others
working in the tradition of deconstruction into dialogue with
debates in the contemporary psychoanalytic field. Attempting to
retrieve what was radical in Freud's portrayal of the mind as a
machine, Jared Russell stresses the importance of psychoanalysis
for an understanding of the relationship between the human and its
current hyper-technological environment. Interventions into
contemporary debates address psychoanalytic concepts such as the
nature of the clinical frame, the intersubjective dialogue,
unconscious communication and the experience of time. Russell
argues that deconstruction, and in particular Derrida's work, can
anticipate and help clarify ongoing developments at the cutting
edge of psychoanalysis today. Psychoanalysis and Deconstruction:
Freud's Psychic Apparatus will appeal not only to a philosophically
informed audience but also to clinicians attempting to secure a
place for psychoanalytic practice at the beginning of the
twenty-first century.
