Reviews and Endorsements
Among French theorists of psychoanalysis Pierre Fédida (1934–2002) is less well-known to Anglophone readers than Lacan, Anzieu, Kristeva, Laplanche or Green, but this book aims to set that right. Eight new translations are presented, as is an extensive introduction to his work. He was a close and scrupulous reader of Freud’s work, relating it to the existential psychology of Binswanger.

I had the good fortune to know Pierre Fédida personally, and I know and admire his work. I warmly support Patrick Ffrench and Nigel Saint's publication of a selection of his work in translation. This will make an essential contribution to a better understanding of modern psychoanalysis in its capacity to renew, deepen and enrich Freudian thought.
