Writing the Symptom

Papers of The Freudian School of Melbourne

Papers of the Freudian School of Melbourne, Volume 23.

No doubt the history of the psychoanalytic movement does not encourage many hopeful illusions for the future. Nonetheless the School, being well founded, has not foundered. After 30 years the future has arrived and is rapidly becoming the past. Despite, or maybe because of, the Virgilian cry — the sense of tears in mortal things — I invite you to prolong the present moment with this book in your hands and to continue your encounter with the writings of the Freudian School of Melbourne, a writing of the symptom.
