Chains of Eros The Sexual in Psychoanalysis

In the first translation of this book into English, Andre Green, a leading figure in contemporary psychoanalytic theory, re-examines the fundamental role of the sexual in modern psychoanalysis.Green deplores the absence of sexuality and the erotic from current psychoanalytic theory and practice. Instead, he sets out to demonstrate how human sexuality forms an 'erotic chain'. The work of analysis, he argues, consists in following the dynamic movements of the erotic process, by ascertaining its links with other aspects of the psyche.Green re-visits many previously neglected and ignored areas of psychoanalytic debate, including the complicated relationship between pleasure and reproduction, and the links between psychoanalysis, anthropology, and biology. He also embarks on radical re-readings of Freud, Klein, Lacan, and other major psychoanalytic thinkers.Green, Andre is the author of 'Chains of Eros The Sexual in Psychoanalysis' with ISBN 9781900877152 and ISBN 1900877155.
