Lacanian psychoanalysis and its applications

Lacanian psychoanalysis offers a unique perspective on understanding the human psyche. The approach, developed by Jacques Lacan, draws from various philosophical influences and has ignited discourse in humanities and political spheres. This therapeutic approach views mental health issues such as depression as deeply intertwined with fundamental philosophical attitudes toward reality and life. At It's Complicated, our team of experienced Lacanian analysts provides a space for individuals to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions freely. Through the practice of free association, clients are encouraged to speak without censorship, allowing unconscious material to surface. Our analysts ask probing questions to facilitate reflection and understanding, and provide interpretations to convey their understanding of the client's material.

How Lacanian psychoanalysis works

In Lacanian psychoanalysis, sessions involve open dialogue and exploration of unconscious processes. Clients may attend sessions from one to five times a week, depending on their agreement with the analyst. Sessions can take place face-to-face or with the client reclined on a couch, promoting a relaxed and introspective atmosphere. Through this process, individuals gain insight into the underlying psychological dynamics shaping their experiences and behaviours.
