A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Body in Today's World: On the
Body examines the importance of the body in everyday psychoanalytic
practice and beyond. Written by world leading clinicians and
international scholars, this important book aims to relocate the
psychoanalytic body in the modern, more challenging world. Bringing
together perspectives from across the range of psychoanalytic
schools of thought, it covers essential analytic topics such as
family and parenting, sex and gender, illness and psychosomatics,
and concepts of the body in infancy. Though in Freud's writing the
intertwining of body and psyche is fundamental, psychoanalytic
thought has sometimes downplayed or ignored this idea. This book
returns the body to its rightful place in psychoanalysis, and
brings the body into the contemporary world of technology and
change, offering fresh insight into the sick body, the sexual body,
the speaking body, the body of the changing family in which the
traditional gendered labels no longer fit seamlessly, gender
dynamics and much more. A Psychoanalytic Exploration of the Body in
Today's World gives renewed and increased emphasis to an essential
tenant of psychoanalysis. With contributions from some of the most
important modern psychoanalysts, this book will prove an essential
work for both psychotherapists and academics.

This book explores the potentiality of enjoyment of the feminine
(Feminine Jouissance) in the form of sweet little deaths of
everyday life- instances of losing one's mind in the intensity of
pure excess in being- and the significance of these ruptures,
irregularities, breaks in signification, in their potency to create
something radically Other. The feminine as a mode of being based on
a different logic of expression is irreducible to a specific gender
or sex regardless of anatomical or gender differences. Feminine
invokes a different logic that bespeaks movement and presents an
openly fluid subjectivity by capturing the simultaneity of both
centering and perpetual de-centering and divergence from itself.
This work has two scopes; the theoretical and the clinical
elaboration of Feminine Jouissance's current uses in Lacanian and
post-Lacanian thought. The theoretical section examines the
relationship of the feminine to radical Otherness embodied in any
form of border-crossing, border-linking (such as in immigration and
being in love). In the clinical, a single clinical case is
presented, to exemplify the impossibility of such integration and
domestication of the feminine.
