Critical Desire traces the history of the relationship between psychoanalysis and literature. It shows clearly and with abundant examples from literature and film the shifts and changes in psychoanalytic thought on culture and aesthetics. Readings of specific texts are presented together with lucid accounts of the development of Freudian psychoanalysis, Kleinian and Lacanian analysis, the work of Winnicott, Laplanche, and more recent post-structuralist psychoanalytic readers.
