Psychoanalysis And Repetition Why Do We Keep Making The Same Mistakes - Juan-David Nasio

Addresses Unconscious Repetition, A Concept That Is Crucial To An Understanding Of Freudian And Lacanian Psychoanalysis And Repetition, Juan-david Nasio, One Of The Leading Contemporary Lacanian Psychoanalysts In France, Argues That Unconscious Repetition Represents The Core Of Psychoanalysis As Well As No Less Than The Fundamental Constitution Of The Human Being. Through Repetition, The Unconscious Memory Of The Past Erupts, Without Our Knowledge, In Our Choices And Actions, To Such An Extent That, For Nasio, We Are Our Past In Action. While Nasio Explains That Repetition Is Both Healthy And Pathological, The Book Is Primarily Concerned With The Repetition Of Unconscious Trauma, As Trauma Engenders Trauma, Through Unconscious Fantasms That Are Expressed, In Turn, As Symptoms.
