Exploring the often-overlooked role of affect in psychoanalysis, this book addresses the misconception that Lacan ignored this crucial aspect. It emphasizes how subjective suffering initiates the analytic process and raises questions about the effectiveness of psychoanalysis in alleviating such distress. The text investigates the complex interplay of affects that emerge within the patient-analyst relationship, highlighting the significance of understanding these emotional dynamics for successful therapeutic outcomes.
