First edition of this original thesis, very rare.<\/p>\n
It only got known to the wider public after being first made available 4 decades later by édition du Seuil in 1975.<\/p>\n
In 1932, after a second year at Saint Anne's Clinique de Maladies Mentales et de l'Encéphale, Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) became a licensed forensic psychiatrist. In 1932 he was awarded the Diplôme d'État de docteur en médecine for his thesis On Paranoiac Psychosis in its Relations to the Personality<\/em> (De la Psychose paranoïaque dans ses rapports avec la personnalité suivi de Premiers écrits sur la paranoïa<\/em>. Paris, Le François for the author, 1932).<\/p>\n It had a limited reception in the 1930s because it was not published until four decades later, but it did find acclaim, especially by surrealist artists.<\/p>\n This thesis is thought to mark Lacan's entry into psychoanalysis. It shows Lacan’s dissatisfaction with traditional psychiatry and the growing influence of Sigmund Freud on his works.<\/p>\n Lacan coined the term ‘Foreclosure’ (also known as "foreclusion"; French: forclusion) which he introduced into psychoanalysis to identify a specific psychical cause for psychosis.<\/p>\n Very good copy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 8vo (222 x 153 mm) XIII, 381 pp., last leaf with colophon.
