Lacan's seminar on identification marks a turning point from the
early to the later years of his work. In this book, Raul Moncayo
builds on many of the concepts that Lacan developed in his seminar,
focusing on the relationship between the unary trait and narcissism
that occurs via ruling ideas, master signifiers, and the objet a as
a part object and a partial form of identification. Moncayo
advances Lacanian psychoanalysis not only for its scholarly value,
but also for its bearing on the clinical practice of psychoanalysis
today.
The question of Oedipus as a myth of Freud is the touchstone
from which Lacan proposed to go beyond Freud and beyond the rock of
castration. The Emptiness of Oedipus examines how the
interpretation of Oedipus as a myth or dream, rather than a
complex, provides a new way of understanding the end of analysis as
the end of the identification with the analyst. The concept is
proposed as Lacan s postmodern or poststructuralist turn and as a
fourth moment of Oedipus that is organized around the lack or
emptiness of the Other.
The Emptiness of Oedipus offers a fresh approach to Lacanian
psychoanalysis and will appeal to analysts and psychotherapists as
well as academics and postgraduates with an interest in Lacan.
