PCC candidate, Philip Lance, is at it again with an engaging interview on the New Books in Psychoanalysis podcast with Dominique Scarfone of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Institute and Society. Scarfone’s relatively new book is The Unpast: The Actual Unconscious (2015). In the podcast introduction, Lance writes, “For many North American readers, or others who may not appreciate the relevance of drive theory and Freud’s metapsychology in today’s world, this book serves as an inspiring re-visitation of that territory and presents a cogent theory for understanding clinical material and analytic aims in a faithfully Freudian context. The book is also an excellent introduction to many of the ideas that animate the French School of Psychoanalysis, especially for readers who may not have found an accessible way into that rich and stimulating tradition.”
