The relationship between sexuality and psychoanalysis can be described in terms of an old and stormy love affair. the same can be said about the relationship between psychoanalysis and philosophy. Sexuality and Psychoanalysis explores this fascinating “love triangle.” A diverse group of philosophers and psychoanalysts in both the Freudian and Lacanian traditions scrutinize the role of sexuality in psychoanalysis from a philosophical point of view.
