PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jamieson Webster is a psychoanalyst in New York. She has written for the New York Review of Books, Artforum, the Guardian, and the New York Times. Her books include The Life and Death of Psychoanalysis (2011) and Stay, Illusion! (with Simon Critchley, 2013).
As ever, Jamieson Webster's writing is provocative and challenging, inviting us to question the comfort zones of contemporary discourse. In her unique style, she combines a meditation on her own psychoanalytic practice with an engagement with clinical and conceptual issues that are relevant to all of us: anxiety, the body, desire, dreams, and what it means to listen to others. And, for the first time in psychoanalytic literature, there is an appendix about the author's appendix!--Darian Leader, author of The New Black: Mourning, Melancholia, and Depression Conversion Disorder is a wonderful book and a pleasure to read--each page sparkles with insight. What I like in this book is the frankness of the author's self-presentation--with her doubts about her profession, her family background marked by separation, and her many readings of philosophers, all interesting, some surprising, like Bachelard, but always bringing something relevant.--Jean-Michel Rabat , University of Pennsylvania, American Academy of Arts and Sciences
