Description

Explore the profound impact of early childhood experiences in The Law of the Mother: An Essay on the Sexual Sinthome. In this groundbreaking work from the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research Library (CFAR), Genevieve Morel examines how words charged with pleasure and suffering form a maternal law that marks an individual during their earliest years. This book investigates whether a child can escape subjection to this maternal influence to build a unique sexual identity. By using a Lacanian framework that revises classical ideas of the Oedipus complex, Morel provides a deep look into the development of the self. The text uses clinical examples and critical commentary to demonstrate how maternal influence can result in various forms of sexual ambiguity. Designed for readers interested in clinical psychology and psychoanalytic theory, this publication offers a serious study of how maternal structures shape human development. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the power of early linguistic and emotional marks on the human psyche.
