Lacanian Perspectives on Jealousy

Editor : Carmen Wright

Reviews and Endorsements

In this marvellous collection of pithy essays, an international cast of scholars and clinicians endeavour to probe into the multi-layered phenomenon of jealousy. Illustrating their arguments with clinical case-vignettes and examples from popular culture, they demonstrate persuasively that jealousy is not a unitary, monolithic experience, but a complex, composite, and protean aspect of the human mind, which cannot be detached from the social bond. If this book does not make you jealous of the authors’ agility and their sparkling insights, it is guaranteed to change your perspective on everything you thought you knew about one of the core components of the human condition.
