An Apocryphal Dictionary of PsychoanalysisAuthor(s): Giuseppe Civitarese\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367143183, 978-0367143183\nSynopsis\nAn Apocryphal Dictionary of Psychoanalysis is a book of transpositions, collecting together the authors clinical vignettes, enigmatic objects, stray thoughts, projects, images, notes from readings, and musings; but also remarks on films and exhibitions, memories, episodes from daily life, summaries of papers to write, questions, doubts and obsessions - all of which have shaped the authors understanding of psychoanalysis.\n\nBorn from moments in which the author has sensed a solution for problems encountered in daily work or for obscure but exciting points of the theory, the entries are ordered in an apocryphal manner, offering a personal and challenging view of psychoanalysis. Like small epiphanies in which there is always an emotion - be it that of amusement, astonishment.
