This is the first book that looks at Lacanian psychoanalysis in the context of the clinic. Drawing on her twelve years of clinical practice, Bice Benvenuto offers an exciting and undiscovered Lacan, who helps make sense of our symptoms and our lives. Benvenuto brings both the clinical and the symbolic threads together in a new theory of feminine sexuality which takes up where Lacan drew the veil. This book will appeal to students, academics and practitioners in psychoanalysis, literary criticism, gender and feminist studies, psychology and philosophy, and anyone interested in the practical application of Lacan's work. Bice Benvenuto is a Lacanian psychoanalyst, a member of the École Européene de Psychanalyse, the founder and former director of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research.

Review:
"This provocative and lucid book will be of great interest to those concerned with psychoanalysis, religion, and gender studies."
-Diane Jonte-Pace, Santa Clara University, in "Religious Studies Review
"Benevenuto's is the first book on Lacan that is true to his clinical spirit, rather than his theory alone, which makes it the best book on Lacan, the book that is most real (in Lacan's sense, and in the more prosaic one). It is also very beautiful in its analysis of the passions, and the experience of love."
-Teresa Brennan, New School for Social Research
"This book unusually combines the theoretical and the clinical in a poetic style. Since the author's subjects are myth and psychoanalysis, such an approach is an effective one. I am much taken by the originality of her use of myth in relation to psychoanalysis and the freshness of her detailed discussions. I think her particular achievement is to have made the clinical poetic."
