Loving Psychoanalysis: Looking at Culture with Freud and Lacan

by Ruth Golan

Overview

Psychoanalysis was neither a product of philosophy nor of academic study. Rather, psychoanalysis was born in the clinic. Freud took his lead from hysterical women; the accounts of their pain, anxieties and physical symptoms led him to formulate his theories on the existence of the unconscious.
