In 1997, the Presses Universitaires de France commissioned Dominique Scarfone for another book for their series Psychanalystes d’aujourd’hui. The result was Jean Laplanche, now available in Dorothée Bonnigal-Katz’s brilliantly clear English translation as “Laplanche: an introduction.” More than an overview of Laplanche’s career, Scarfone’s text presents an unparalleled insight into the mechanisms, provocations, and spectacular theoretical achievements of Laplanche’s work, which has been increasingly recognized as integral to Francophone—and more recently, Anglophone—psychoanalytic practice and theory. This is a secondhand book in very good condition. Some written annotations and underlining on pages.
