Cruelty, Sexuality, and the Unconscious in Psychoanalysis: Freud, Lacan, Winnicott, and the Body of the Void - Paperback

by Touria Mignotte (Author)

In Cruelty, Sexuality and the Unconscious in Psychoanalysis, Touria Mignotte explores an innovative conception of cruelty. Integrating the life sciences and quantum physics, this approach shows that cruelty structures the living just as much as the Unconscious, and makes it possible to integrate the main psychoanalytic currents.
