CHAPTER

Understanding Lacanian Psychoanalysis

Exploring the effectiveness of psychoanalysis in resolving symptoms, this chapter delves into the concept of identifying with symptoms in Lacanian psychoanalysis. It discusses the evolution of Lacan's thoughts on symptom resolution, the cultural notions influencing therapeutic practices, and the role of the analyst in creating a safe space for patients to explore their thoughts and feelings. The chapter also addresses the perception of Lacanian therapists as strict and demanding, questioning if this characteristic is inherent to the theory or a result of individual temperament.
