How to Make a Paranoid Laugh by François Roustang
Francois Roustang attacks the claims that psychoanalysis makes to scientific method and the production of objective theory."To read Roustang is to meet psychoanalysis at its most familiar and most strange: an elusive therapeutic enterprise whose most basic tenets are open to questionIn How to Make a Paranoid Laugh or, What Is Psychoanalysis? Roustang plays the provocateur as he ranges overtopics such as the suggestively titled "The Laboratory of Cruelty" and "On the End of Analysis and Self-Hypnosis as a Cure." His style is of close questions and poetic leaps; therefore, this book is not for cautious readers."—Canadian Journal of Psychoanalysis
Francois Roustang is a psychoanalyst in private practice in Paris. Three of his six previous books have been published in English: Dire Mastery: Discipleship from Freud to Lacan, Psychoanalysis Never Lets Go, and Lacanian Delusion.
