Psychopathologies of the Living makes the work of the French psychoanalyst Pierre Fédida (1934-2002) available in English for the first time.
Patrick ffrench and Nigel Saint present key essays selected from Fédida’s extensive œuvre. The book directs attention to two salient dimensions of Fédida’s writing: his attention to the pathologies of the body, considered as both a psychic and somatic entity, and his insistence on the relevance of psychoanalytic thought to the sciences of life. The chapters included in this collection detail Fédida’s creative use of aesthetic sources in his psychoanalytic work, his distinctive and creative manipulation and revision of central psychoanalytic concepts and his precise attention to the texts of Freud, Ferenczi, Winnicott among others. This selection of Fédida’s essays also shows his avoidance of thematization or explicit theorisation; for Fédida the theory of psychoanalysis must arise out of the specific interplay of language and the ‘space of the session’.
Psychopathologies of the Living will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training and to academics and scholars of philosophy, aesthetics, and literary studies.
