Psychosis and Extreme States: An Ethic for Treatment

This book advances a theory of transference-in-psychosis with the aim of provoking a change in the way the experience of psychosis is understood and clinically treated. Building on the work of Lacan and others, it reframes the problem of the ‘body’ and its relation to transference and ethics, contending that the aim of the psychoanalytic experience is the creation of a new ethic for the treatment.
