Publisher's Synopsis
With the increasing objectification of life and people, the critical perspective that psychoanalysis can employ is now more important than ever. However, this argues that analysis must engage with its critics, with other disciplines, and above all, with the ethical demands coming from the Other. This draws not only on the work of key analytic figures like Freud, Klein and Lacan but also on serious critics of psychoanalysis such as Levinas, Baudrillard, Lyotard and Vladimir Nabokov.
