Sexuality and Psychoanalysis cover

The relationship between sexuality and psychoanalysis can be described in terms of an old and stormy love affair. The same can be said about the relationship between psychoanalysis and philosophy. It is precisely this fascinating ‘love triangle' that the present volume of essays aims to explore. A diverse group of philosophers and psychoanalysts reflected on the concept of sexuality in Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis. The result is a stimulating collection of essays where the role of sexuality in psychoanalysis is scrutinized from a philosophical point of view.

This volume does more than merely offer an alternative psychoanalytic account of sexuality. It also develops a wide range of philosophical reflections on sexuality as conceptualized by Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis, and in this way initiates a dialogue between the two concurrent disciplines.

This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

Eran Dorfman schrijft in zijn epiloog dat de psychoanalyse en de filosofie elkaar kunnen bevruchten. En inderdaad in dit boek hebben meer dan tien filosofen en psychoanalytici, kenners van Lacan en Freud, uit verschillende werelddelen in twaalf boeiende en uitdagende essays bewezen dat het thema van de seksualiteit zeer geschikt is om deze wederzijdse bestuiving vrucht te doen dragen. De filosofen dagen de analytici uit om de psychoanalyse kritisch te bekijken en omgekeerd wordt aan de filosoof gevraagd om de psychoanalyse serieus te nemen.
