New Foundations for Psychoanalysis

The book highlights a pivotal five-year period in Laplanche's intellectual journey, beginning with the release of New Foundations for Psychoanalysis in 1987. During this time, he developed key concepts that shaped his theories, alongside significant seminars that explored intricate topics such as après-coup and Freud's theories on sexuality. These works, including Problématiques VI and VII, showcase Laplanche's critical engagement with psychoanalytic thought and his innovative contributions to understanding human sexuality and its biological implications.
