A delightfully thought-provoking study of why we have sex, from brilliant psychoanalyst Darian Leader'It was just sex.'It's a familiar claim. But is it really possible?The old idea that sexuality is a smouldering, animalistic force within us, desperate for release yet restrained by social forces, has little to support it. Bodies aren't just sticks that make fire when you rub them together, and the pain, heartache, and regret that can accompany...

Although the term 'jouissance' is common currency in psychoanalysis today, how much does it really tell us? While often taken to designate a fusion of sexuality, suffering and satisfaction, the term has fallen into a purely descriptive use that closes down more questions than it opens up. Although assumed to explain the coalescence of pleasure and pain, it tends to cover a range of quite different issues that should be distinguished rather tha...

In an engaging, at times startling, enquiry into the fundamental loneliness of each sex, Leader asks why relationships frequently run aground on the trivial question, 'What are you thinking?' If a man chooses as his partner a woman unlike his mother, why does he try to make her behave towards him exactly as his mother did, when he was a boy?

Der "Große Andere" Neben Sigmund Freud und C.G.Jung gilt Jacques Lacan heute als einer der drei großen psychoanalytischen Theoretiker. Lacan hat das postmoderne kritische Denken, die Kunst, Literatur, Philosophie und den Feminismus nachhaltig beeinflusst, erreicht aber auch breitere Bevölkerungsschichten, wie etwa in Argentinien, wo seine klinische Praxis hohe Popularität genießt. Darian Leader, ein anerkannter lacanianischer Analytiker, führt...

Rather than focusing on the internal development of Freud's work, or his place in psychology's literary canon, this text explores the specific research questions that preoccupied him and shows how his responses were formed and modified by debate with his colleagues.

En nuestra sociedad, normalmente la locura se identifica con sus síntomas visibles: delirios, estallidos de violencia, alucinaciones, retraimiento... Pero, ¿y si la locura no fuera lo que pensamos? ¿Por qué individuos aparentemente normales pierden el juicio de la noche a la mañana y cometen actos criminales? ¿Es lo mismo estar loco que volverse loco? ¿Y si los síntomas que asociamos a la locura no fueran sino mecanismos de estabilización desa...

Aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw leed naar schatting 1 procent van de mensen aan manische depressiviteit. Honderd jaar later bestaat de term niet meer - er wordt nu een containerbegrip gebruikt, 'bipolaire stoornis', waaraan zo'n 13 procent van de wereldbevolking zou lijden. Hoe is die explosie van bipolariteit te verklaren? Het is een aandoening die gekenmerkt wordt door sterke stemmingswisselingen, van zeer uitgelaten tot zwaar neerslach...

In de geschreven media, op tv, in soaps of films wordt waanzin altijd uitgebeeld als iets extreems: gewelddadige uitbarstingen, toevallen of hallucinaties. Maar als waanzin nu eens helemaal niet is wat wij denken dat het is? Als het eerder regel dan uitzondering is? Als de kenmerken van waanzin niet zichtbaar zijn en eigen aan de doorsneeburger? Psychoanalyticus Darian Leader begint en eindigt zijn betoog met het geval van de Britse arts Harol...

Si las pérdidas y las separaciones no son asimiladas de manera adecuada, sus efectos pueden perdurar toda la vida y provocar en los individuos un sopor eterno, un infierno psíquico disociado del entorno que los rodea. Ésta es la tesis que el psicoanalista británico Darian Leader expone en La moda negra. Duelo melancolía y depresión. Leader explora a fondo las dos categorías que considera fundamentales: el duelo y la melancolía, y muestra con c...
