Milan's testimony illustrates that Lacan's method was based on the idea that the traditional way of interpreting provoked resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore \u003ci\u003eWhy Lacan\u003c\/i\u003e, Milan wrote a play, \u003ci\u003eGoodbye Doctor\u003c\/i\u003e, drawing from her experience as Lacan's patient. The play revolves around the sessions of Seriema with the Doctor. Through these sessions, Seriema uncovers the reason for her inability to conceive—an unconscious desire to satisfy her father, who didn’t permit her to have a child. She eventually overcomes being the victim of her unconscious, realises the possibility of choosing a father for her child, and takes a step towards motherhood. \u003ci\u003eGoodbye Doctor\u003c\/i\u003e was adapted into a film, \u003ci\u003eAdieu Lacan\u003c\/i\u003e, by director Richard Ledes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnalyzed by Lacan\u003c\/i\u003e also features an Introduction by Milan to both works, as well as a new interview with Mari Ruti about her writing and Lacan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46768498868460,"sku":"9798765106198","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8990473488869.jpg?v=1756378686","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/analyzed-by-lacan-by-dr-betty-milan-9798765106198","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
