From 1953 to 1980, Jacques Lacan sought to accomplish a return to Freud beyond post-Freudianism. Julien challenges the reader to submit to the rigours of Lacan's thinking, and aims to go beyond presenting a mere introduction.

Argues for the adoption of a theory of object relations, combining traditional psychoanalytic theory with contemporary views on attachment behaviour and intersubjectivity. Rogers provides a critical rereading of the case histories of Freud, Winnicott, Lichtenstein, Sechehaye and Bettelheim.

The concepts of representation and narratives have played a key role in the development of psychoanalysis, clinical research and theoretical speculation. This title analyzes the growth of representation and narratives in the history and practice of psychoanalysis.
