This collection of essays by scholars and clinicians will revolutionize your understanding of madness. Essential for those on both sides of the couch. "A fascinating collection of essays on the ever-crucial topic of madness in civilization and in the consulting room. The authors here serve us up a fine antidote to the thinking behind the DSM-V." - Bruce Fink, practicing Lacanian psychoanalyst and analytic supervisor. He is a member of the Ecole de la Cause freudienne in Paris and an affiliated member of the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center. "In editing Lacan on Madness: Madness, Yes You Can't (Routledge, 2015) Gherovici and Steinkoler consciously employ the non-nosological, capacious - one might even say literary - term "madness" to resist normative and abjecting approaches to the insane and think in novel and flexible ways about both psychosis and neurosis? the contributors and editors of Lacan on Madness provide varied, paradoxical, and inspiring answers." - Anna Fishzon for New Books in Psychoanalysis
