The Freudian Subject (Hardcover, Rev Ed)

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.
