Text: English, French (translation)
"The book is Roustang's bold psychoanalyzing of the profession itself through glimpses of Freud's master-disciple relationship with various figures... These portraits are brilliantly incisive and rewarding in their illumination of psychoanalytic practice." -- Publisher's Weekly

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First American Edition (NAP). This book was originally published in France in 1976. You can see the covers in the photos (trust but verify). They are very clean. The silver lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The cover edges are in very good shape. So are the corners. There is a tiny bump/crease just above the two bottom corners. The page edges are very clean. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in very nice condition. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling at all. That includes the white inside covers and end papers. I'm also not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. I've always had it in a fitted protective. There is one thin tear off the front top edge. There are no other tears on the jacket. The jacket looks quite clean, just a couple of very small dark spots. The flaps are in excellent condition, no tears, no wear. The jacket is not priced or clipped. From the dust jacket: 'Roustang argues that psychoanalysis is by its nature asocial and that to speak of psychoanalytic societies is a contradiction in terms; psychoanalysis can never be effectively administered through the means of a psychoanalytic association or any sort of collective body. According to Roustang, the radical nature of the transference phenomenon makes the formation of any social bond at best an obstacle that prevents one from making the truly analytic insights and at worst a trigger that can unleash destructive energies that consume careers and personalities. Roustang employs both historical accounts and detailed examinations of psychoanalytic associations in France today to build his argument and, ultimately, to pave the way for a new theory of psychosis. Dire Mastery breaks new ground in its study of Freud's disciples and his thought. It offers challenging, provocative reading for the psychoanalytic community and for anyone interested in psychoanalysis and its history.'. Seller Inventory # 004773
