On Not Fitting In: Psychoanalytic Rem(a)Inders, (Paperback)

<p><i>On Not Fitting In: Psychoanalytic Rem(a)inders </i>offers a distinctive meditation on contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice through a series of brief, thought-provoking essays.</p><p>Through a series of interconnected sections exploring the symptom, desire, satisfaction, love, and the cure, Childs weaves together classical and recent perspectives in psychoanalysis. Drawing on a rich tapestry of references, from Freud and Lacan to influential analytic thinkers like Bruce Fink, Adam Phillips, Paul Verhaeghe, and Mari Ruti, alongside philosophical and literary sources, the book presents a mosaic of insights into identity, subjectivity, and social belonging. Deliberately fragmentary in composition, it can be read either sequentially or as individual pieces, offering readers multiple entry points into psychoanalytic thought.</p><p><i>On Not Fitting In: Psychoanalytic Rem(a)inders </i>will be of interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, academics and scholars of psychoanalysis, and readers interested in the intersection of psychoanalysis with contemporary life.</p>
