Sigmund Freud evolved his theories throughout his lifetime. This
entailed many revisions and changes which he himself never tried to
standardise rigidly into a definitive conceptual system. The need
for some sort of a reliable guide which would spell out both the
pattern of the evolution of Freud's thinking, as well as establish
its inherent logic, was felt for a long time by both scholars and
students of psychoanalysis. Drs Laplanche and Pontalis of the
Association Psychanalytique de France succeeded admirably in
providing a dictionary of Freud's concepts which is more than a
compilation of mere definitions. After many years of creative and
industrious research, they were able to give an authentic account
of the evolution of each concept with pertinent supporting texts
from Freud's own writing (in the Standard Edition translation), and
thus have endowed us with an instrument for work and research which
is characterised by its thoroughness, exactitude and lack of
prejudice towards dogma. The Language of Psychoanalysis is an
established classic that will long continue to be of invaluable use
to both the student and the research-worker in psychoanalysis.
'Essays on Otherness offers the most original, philosophical sophisticated, and far-reaching critical reading of Freud's metapsychology since Lacan. Exegetically scrupulous and rigorously argued, these essays go straight to the heart of the psychoanalytical enterprise.' - Peter Osborne, Professor of Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University
'[Laplanche's] philosophical and psychoanalytical studies are now becoming increasingly drawn upon by cultural theorists and critics, and this work is helped enormously by the publication of Essays on Otherness and the comprehensive and illuminating introduction by John Fletcher.' - New Formations

Most critics have come to terms with the contradictions in Freud's
work by attempting to impose a unified system even at the cost of
rejecting crucial metapyschological concepts such as the death
wish. According to Jean Laplanche, "such variations or variants
deserve better than a choice in favor of one of the other: they
require an interpretation and such as interpretation implies that,
as is the case with the analysis of dreams, all the elements be
juxtaposed so that nothing be eliminated, that the either / or be
retanslatedinto an and." In a way that Freud plainly does not
control, Laplanche argures, there are at work two different
concepts corresponding to each of a series of crucial Freudian
terms; in each of these conceptual pairs of one of the elements is
solidary with a specific conceptual scheme and the other with a
second one. The entire body of Freud's work, for Laplanche, is
constituted as an elaborately structured polemical field in which
two mutually exclusive schemes may be seen to be struggling to
dominate a single terminological apparatus. Life and Death in
Psychoanalysis is a painstakingly lucid inquiry into the
interpretative consequences of the conceptual and terminological
difficulties posed by Freud's texts. It is an uncannily precise
delineation of the perverse rigor with which Freud's most virulent
discoveries perpetually escape him-and are endlessly rediscovered.
En esta obra Jean Laplanche examina tematicas relacionadas con la
que el denomina "situacion antropologica fundamental": aquella que,
en una asimetria estructurante, confronta a adulto e infans. En su
caracterizacion interviene primordialmente una "teoria de la
seduccion" que permite al autor reformular sobre bases diferentes
el viraje freudiano entre la realidad del hecho y la constitucion
del fantasma, instando la existencia de un "tercer dominio de
realidad," que el denomina: "realidad del mensaje enigmatico." Esta
teoria se encuentra indisolublemente ligada a la concepcion de la
represion como "traductiva," y constituye un desarrollo inedito. El
tratamiento de cuestiones centrales de la metapsicologia, como el
inconsciente y el ello, la dualidad pulsional, la represion, la
sublimacion, da paso a la aportacion de hipotesis originales tales
como las elaboraciones sobre el "o?=es-coup," la ponderacion del
caracter sexual de la pulsion de muerte o la nocion de
"significante-designificado." En los intersticios, asoman
problematicas directamente ligadas a la practica psicoanalitica: el
fenomeno de las instituciones y la cuestion del analisis didactico,
las metas de la labor analitica, el problema del afecto y su
incidencia en el trabajo de escucha.
