Let's Keep Talking

<p><em>Let's Keep Talking: Lacanian Tales of Love Sex and Other Catastrophes</em> is a collection of original Lacanian case studies of young people today as they struggle with their own modern existential dilemmas of sex and love life and death. The context background and forms of expression may be contemporary but the clients' problems structures and existential dilemmas are quite classic. The five narrative tales highlight the role a Lacanian orientation played in the interactions formulations and results from initial meetings to terminations. Grounded in concrete clinical material the case studies illuminate specific and universal themes of human suffering and how we can treat that suffering by speaking. Yael Baldwin argues that in our cultural milieu of connective technologies and the rise of biotechnology and psychopharmacology in particular we are in need of mental health treatment methods that highlight talking and relationships as essential to our personhood our suffering and our healing and growth. <em>Let's Keep Talking</em> argues that now more than ever we need the endeavour of analytic talk therapy.</p>
