Welcome to Issue 27 of The Letter, Irish Journal for Lacanian Psychoanalysis.
Excerpt from the Editorial:
"As is usual, this third and final issue of the current volume brings the reader a selection of papers from those presented in the course of the 9th Annual Congress of the Association for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy in Ireland, held in November 2002. The congress, entitled Psychoanalytic Discourse: Truth or Make-believe?, addressed a broader range of topics than in previous years, reflecting the growth in ambit of the interests and work of the APPI membership, the graduates of the School of Psychotherapy, St Vincent’s Hospital and of the School of Arts at DBS. We, therefore, can bring you papers on subjects as diverse as racism, institutional/social abuse and the sexual life of children, the mythical, art, impotence and the desire to know. In addition a number of contributors concentrated on some aspect of Lacan’s 1970-71 Seminar XVIII D’un discours qui ne serait pas du semblant (On a discourse that might not be a semblance)."
