Book Overview
Lying on the couch, the patient must tell all. And yet, as the psychoanalyst well knows, the patient is endlessly unable and unwilling to speak the truth. This perversity at the heart of psychoanalysis, a focus on intimate truths even as the lines between truth and lies are being redrawn, is also at the centre of this book of essays by the historian of psychoanalysis John Forrester. Continuing the work begun in Dispatches from the Freud Wars, this book offers a philosophical and historical perspective on the mechanics, moral dilemmas, and implications of psychoanalysis.
