Welcome to Issue 4 of The Letter, Irish Journal for Lacanian Psychoanalysis.
 
Excerpt from the Editorial:
 
"Psychoanalysis bears witness to the unhappy reality that underpinning the subject of knowledge is a radical yearning for ignorance. Who should want to know that moment in suspense where the person comes to the meaning of his existence, if it is trauma in its different guises which fires us? The subject-in-suffering is bom when the object is lost and so we are all products of that moment and in that sense too each of us may be said to have a good wound, to paraphrase Aristotle.
 
The question of trauma is what unites the various authors in this edition of The Letter although of course they never intended it………………………
 
This issue covers quite a range of traumatic experiences both implicit and explicit, thereby demonstrating how the particular is linked in an inexorable way to the universal and vice versa."
