Book, Oedipus: the complex from which no child escapes[LS]

What is the Oedipus complex? Drawing on his extensive experience as a speaker and clinician, J.-D. Nasio separately analyzes the development of the most crucial concept of psychoanalysis in the boy and the girl. Always clear and objective in his expositions, he evaluates the presence of Oedipus at the root of the ordinary and morbid neuroses of men and women, and summarizes the main topics related to the theme – such as castration, the figure of the Phallus and the role played by the father in this process. Throughout the book, short sections with diagrams and comparative tables. And also: a collection of key quotes from Freud and Lacan about Oedipus.
