Benvenuto reconstructs the case through the first-hand accounts of the patient's analysts and Lacan and sets it in the context of mid-century psychoanalytic debate. As we progress through the patient's story, Benvenuto explains Lacan's theories as they apply to the case: the \"foreclosure\" of orality; obsessional neurosis; mental anorexia; and, above all, the reasons for his opposition to Ego psychology, of which Kris was one of the most important representatives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.
