Description and Table of Contents
Description
In recent years the function of language, narrative and text in psychic life has taken on increasing significance in depth psychology. "The Alchemy of Discourse" examines language in relation to psychic formation, beginning with the role played by images and words in the onset of subjectivity. Through a careful examination of Jungs early word association experiments coupled with recent developments in Lacanian psychoanalysis, Dr Kugler offers a re-conceptualisation of the origin and function of the Jungian divided subject (ego/self). For those just beginning to explore the role of language in psychic life, this book provides an accessible entry point, with its clear explication of key terms together with their historical and conceptual background. The book will be a valuable resource for psychoanalysts, students and trainees in depth psychology, and for writers, critical theorists, philosophers and historians of ideas.
