This is the first collection of essays to offer a comprehensive
analysis of, and reflection on, the major themes emergent in
Jacques Lacan's seminars of 1955-56 and 1956-57: Seminar IV - the
object relation, and Seminar V - formations of the unconscious.
Assessing the value of a clinical approach orientated around the
question of the object lack in the contemporary clinic, the book
comprises 16 chapters which follow the development of a range of
concepts elaborated by Lacan in these seminars, including sustained
engagement with his critique of object relations theory. It
considers the effectiveness of these early ideas in clinical
practice in relation to hysteria, phobia, fetishism, obsessional
neurosis, and of the so-called "Borderline" case. Lacan's early
concepts are also subjected to critique for engagement with Queer
theory, and research in asexuality or the operation(s) of the
signifier Phallus. The chapters build to provide an invaluable
resource to interpret and evaluate Lacan's early teaching, and to
find in his early concepts a fresh utility and scope for both
clinical work and psychoanalytic research and enquiry. The book
will be of great interest to Lacanian scholars and students, as
well as psychoanalytic therapists, and analysts interested in
Lacan's early work.
