Synopsis "Hysteria From Freud to Lacan: The Splendid Child of Psychoanalysis (Lacanian Clinical Field) "

Few diagnostic categories are as controversial in psychoanalysis as hysteria. Widely held to reflect outmoded cultural prejudices against women, hysteria has virtually disappeared from our theoretical literature, diagnostic manuals, and training programs. However, far from being gender-bound, this book shows that hysteria for Jacques Lacan represents a psychic strategy that bears on one of the most fundamental preoccupations of existence: What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be a man?"

He studied medicine at the University of Buenos Aires and specialized in psychiatry at the Evita Hospital in Lanús. In 1969, he moved to France to delve deeper into the study of psychoanalysis under the influence of Jacques Lacan. For three years, he taught a seminar at the École Freudienne de Paris (1977-1980) and, after its dissolution, founded the Paris Psychoanalytic Seminars in 1986. Additionally, he was a professor at the University of Paris VII for 30 years.
