Towards Identity in the Psychoanalytic Encounter addresses the
theme of identification and identity in the psychoanalytic clinic
as elaborated by Jacques Lacan over the course of his teaching. In
psychoanalysis the subject who is summoned “to speak himself”,
is by definition lacking in identity. His question is “What am
I?” but, as he is only represented by his words, his being is
“always elsewhere”, within other words that are yet to come.
Thus a paradox: one seeks via speech the identity of a being who,
through his speech, is not identifiable. Yet the fact remains, he
has a body, and he is riveted to sufferings that psychoanalysis,
from Freud to Lacan, identified, which are not accidental, which we
call repetition and symptom, and which shift the question of
identity, because a One, real, is at play in them. Towards Identity
in the Psychoanalytic Encounter will be key reading for the study
and research of Lacanian psychoanalysis and all practitioners
interested in Lacan’s teaching, as well as other discourses such
as philosophy, art, literature and history.
