This book presents a new study of the key Freudian texts in which the author examines the relation between identification and desire, between desire and violence and between identification and object relations. It leads to a more ominous reading of Freud by showing that the two types of ties Freud postulated in the Oedipal triangle - object love and identification (the first conceivably less linked to narcissism than the second) - are in fact one.

Reviews and Endorsements

'Borch-Jacobsen asks a simple question, but one that Freud missed: How does one speak of unconscious representation, or even of unconscious fantasy? A thorough familiarity with contemporary psychoanalytical work and with philosophical treatments of the subject, identification, and mimesis informs this masterly book, which will be indispensable to all future discussions of Freud.'
- Jean-Luc Nancy
