In The Analyst's Desire, Mitchell Wilson explores the fundamental role that lack and desire play in psychoanalytic interpretation. Throughout this book, Wilson utilizes a comparative method that engages different psychoanalytic traditions-Lacanian, Bionian, Kleinian, Contemporary Freudian-to investigate questions of utmost importance. These questions include: What is the nature of the psychoanalytic process? How are desire and counter-transference linked? What is the relationship between desire, analytic action, and psychoanalytic ethics? (amazon)
