Inhaltsangabe

Dissociation, Compulsion, and Language Games in Psychoanalysis investigates the strangely underexplored topic of the phenomenology of language in psychoanalytic dialogue-as impacted by trauma, addiction, and other compulsive aversions.

Drawing on the long tradition of phenomenology and exploration of the importance of language in philosophy, as well as the author's extensive clinical experience, this book explores how language acts as the interface of human connection and how, without really understanding what it is and how it functions, true communication and connection cannot be achieved. The author looks at how we can use the concept of family resemblance in the way we use words to come to an understanding of each other, so that even if we don't use language in exactly the same way, we can find common ground that let's us understand and empathize with each other.

With rich clinical vignettes and a fresh new application of philosophical ideas, this is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychotherapists.
