To stem the pain, Boothby turned to psychoanalysis. He was no stranger to the concept - as a professor of philosophy, he had focused his career on the intersection between psychoanalytic theory and contemporary philosophy. Exploring the epidemics of substance abuse and gun violence from an intimate perspective, Boothby's poignant account of grief shows how the death of a loved one can in some ways bring us closer to them and ourselves.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49742020411665,"sku":"NGR9781635422603","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50031959539985,"sku":"CIN1635422604VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51696822681873,"sku":"CIN1635422604G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1635422604.jpg?v=1751119684"},{"product_id":"death-and-desire-book-richard-boothby-9780415901727","title":"Death and Desire","description":"The influential work of Jacques Lacan challenges readers both for the difficulty of its style and for the wide range of intellectual references that frame its innovations. Lacan's work is challenging too, for the way in which it recentres psychoanalysis on one of the most controversial points of Freud's theory - the concept of a self-destructive drive or \"death instinct\". \"Death and Desire\" presents, in Lacanian terms, a new integration of psychoanalytic theory in which the battery of key Freudian concepts - from the dynamics of the Oedipus complex to the topography of ego, id, and superego - are seen to intersect in Freud's most far-reaching and speculative formulation of a drive toward death. Boothby argues that Lacan repositioned the theme of death in psychoanalysis in relation to Freud's main concern - the nature of fate and desire. In doing so, Lacan rediscovered Freud's essential insights in a manner so subtle and penetrating that prevailing assessments of the death instinct may well have to be re-examined. This book should be of interest to professionals in training and practice, undergraduates and graduates in the fields of psychoanalysis, literary criticism, philosophy and feminist theory.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50290161516817,"sku":"GOR009239781","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50320956555537,"sku":"GOR003790205","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415901723.jpg?v=1751391749"},{"product_id":"death-and-desire-rle-lacan-book-richard-boothby-9781138967236","title":"Death and Desire (RLE: Lacan)","description":"The immensely influential work of Jacques Lacan challenges readers both for the difficulty of its style and for the wide range of intellectual references that frame its innovations. Lacan’s work is challenging too, for the way it recentres psychoanalysis on one of the most controversial points of Freud’s theory – the concept of a self-destructive drive or ‘death instinct’.   Originally published in 1991, Death and Desire presents in Lacanian terms a new integration of psychoanalytic theory in which the battery of key Freudian concepts – from the dynamics of the Oedipus complex to the topography of ego, id, and superego – are seen to intersect in Freud’s most far-reaching and speculative formulation of a drive toward death. Boothby argues that Lacan repositioned the theme of death in psychoanalysis in relation to Freud’s main concern – the nature and fate of desire. In doing so, Lacan rediscovered Freud’s essential insights in a manner so nuanced and penetrating that prevailing assessments of the death instinct may well have to be re-examined.   Although the death instinct is usually regarded as the most obscure concept in Freud’s metapsychology, and Lacan to be the most perplexing psychoanalytic theorist, Richard Boothby’s straightforward style makes both accessible. He illustrates the coherence of Lacanian thought and shows how Lacan’s work comprises a ‘return to Freud’ along new and different angles of approach. Written with an eye to the conceptual structure of psychoanalytic theory, Death and Desire will appeal to psychoanalysts and philosophers alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51020673024273,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51020673679633,"sku":"NIN9781138967236","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52615806157073,"sku":"NLS9781138967236","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138967238.jpg?v=1750823779"},{"product_id":"freud-as-philosopher-book-richard-boothby-9780415925891","title":"Freud as Philosopher","description":"Using Jacques Lacan's work as a key, Boothby reassesses Freud's most ambitious-and misunderstood-attempt at a general theory of mental functioning: metapsychology","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51137306951953,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51137309901073,"sku":"NIN9780415925891","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521998778641,"sku":"NLS9780415925891","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415925894.jpg?v=1751006792"},{"product_id":"treatise-on-the-diseases-of-cattle-etc-book-richard-boothby-9781240920259","title":"A Treatise on the Diseases of Cattle, Etc.","description":"Title: A Treatise on the Diseases of Cattle, etc.Publisher: British Library, Historical Print EditionsThe British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom.
