Freud's Schreber Between Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis: On Subjective Disposition to Psychosis

Author(s) : Thomas Dalzell

Reviews and Endorsements

'Thomas Dalzell studies with precision the position of the best of classical psychiatry, as well as that of Freud and finally of Lacan. At the same time he does homage to a remarkable opus which was the object of these labours, that of a madman who, in his delirium and suffering, had enough humanism to leave to the savants a unique document made for their enlightenment.'
- Dr Charles Melman, psychoanalyst and psychiatrist, director of teaching in Lacan's École freudienne de Paris, and founder of L'Association Lacanienne Internationale, from the Preface

'This work is novel, original, and exciting. Dr Dalzell's writing presents a balanced, eclectic, and logical exposition. It makes a unique contribution to the field of psychoanalytic research and is to be commended to all students intent on research in this field.'
- Professor Kevin M. Malone, MD, FRCPI, FRCPsych, professor of psychiatry, School of Medicine and Medical Science, University College Dublin

'In a remarkable work that joins scientific rigour to the art of the story teller, Thomas Dalzell tells the tale of the missed encounter between Freud's discovery of the crucial place of the speaking subject in the understanding of psychosis and the biological objectifications of the makers of modern psychiatry, which still dominate current theory and treatment.'
- Dr Cormac Gallagher, Lacanian psychoanalyst and founder of the School of Psychotherapy at St Vincent's University Hospital, Dublin
