Nobus, Dany. Key Concepts of Lacanian Psychoanalysis
- Details
- Category: Bibliography
In this classic work, eight crucial Lacanian ideas are explained through detailed exploration of the theoretical and/or practical context in which Lacan introduced them, the way in which they developed throughout his works, and the questions they were designed to answer. The book does not presuppose any familiarity with Lacanian theory on the part of the reader, nor a prior acquaintance with Lacan's Ecrits or seminars. Originally published in 1998, the ideas within are more relevant than ever and this newly reissued volume will prove invaluable to today's scholars of Lacanian thought.

Leader, Darian. Strictly Bipolar
- Details
- Category: Bibliography
If the post-war period was called the 'Age of Anxiety' and the 1980s and '90s the 'Antidepressant Era', we now live in Bipolar times. Mood-stabilising medication is routinely prescribed to adults and children alike, with child prescriptions this decade increasing by 400% and overall diagnoses by 4000%.
What could explain this explosion of bipolarity? Is it a legitimate diagnosis or the result of Big Pharma marketing? Exploring these questions, Darian Leader challenges the rise of 'bipolar' as a catch-all solution to complex problems, and argues that we need to rethink the highs and lows of mania and depression.
What, he asks, do these experiences have to do with love, guilt and rage? Why the spending sprees and the intense feeling of connection with the world? Why the confidence, the self-esteem and the sense of a bright future that can so swiftly turn into despair and dejection?
Only by looking at these questions in a new way will we be able to understand and help the person caught between feelings that can be so terrifying and so exhilarating, so life-affirming yet also so lethal.
Strictly Bipolar is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary views of the self, bipolarity and a deeper understanding of manic-depression.

Translated by Devra Simiu from Lacan, lecteur de Joyce
Colette Soler, a prominent figure in the field of psychoanalysis, has made significant contributions to the understanding and interpretation of Jacques Lacan's work. Her expertise in Lacanian psychoanalysis is particularly notable in her exploration of its intersections with literature, as exemplified in her work "Lacan Reading Joyce."
Soler began her career as a psychoanalyst in France, where she was closely associated with Jacques Lacan. Her deep engagement with Lacan's teachings and her participation in his seminars played a pivotal role in shaping her theoretical and clinical approach. Soler's work is characterised by a rigorous analysis of Lacanian concepts, and she is known for her ability to elucidate complex psychoanalytic theories in a manner that is both accessible and deeply insightful.
In "Lacan Reading Joyce," Soler delves into the intriguing relationship between Lacan's psychoanalytic theories and the literary works of James Joyce. This book is a testament to her skill in bridging the gap between psychoanalysis and literature, demonstrating how Lacanian concepts can be applied to literary texts to uncover deeper meanings and insights. Her analysis offers a unique perspective on Joyce's work, highlighting the ways in which it intersects with and illuminates Lacanian psychoanalysis.
Beyond "Lacan Reading Joyce," Soler has authored and contributed to numerous other publications that explore various facets of Lacanian theory. Her works often focus on key Lacanian concepts such as the Real, the Symbolic, and the Imaginary, and she has a particular interest in the implications of these theories for clinical practice. Soler's writings are not only academically rigorous but also highly relevant for practicing psychoanalysts, offering valuable insights into the application of Lacanian theory in therapeutic settings.
Soler's influence extends beyond her written work. She is a respected teacher and lecturer, known for her engaging and thought-provoking presentations. Her contributions to psychoanalytic conferences and seminars have made her a well-known figure in the international psychoanalytic community.
In summary, Colette Soler's work represents a significant contribution to the field of psychoanalysis, particularly in her exploration of Lacanian theory and its application to literature. Her writings, including "Lacan Reading Joyce," provide profound insights into the complexities of the human psyche, making her a key figure in contemporary psychoanalytic thought.
