Lacan, Kris and the Psychoanalytic Legacy: The Brain Eater Benvenuto Sergio
Lacan, Kris and the Psychoanalytic Legacy: The Brain Eater examines the case of a scholar which was commented on by three leading psychoanalysts of the twentieth century: Melitta Schmideberg, Ernst Kris, and Jacques Lacan.Sergio Benvenuto unpicks the complex case history of the patient he calls 'Professor Brain', a man who struggled to publish his research because of his fixation on plagiarism, and who has never been identified. As we progress through the patient's story, Benvenuto explains Lacan's theories as they apply to the case: the 'foreclosure' of orality; obsessional neurosis; mental anorexia; and, above all, the reasons for his opposition to Ego psychology, of which Kris was one of the most Benvenuto reconstructs the case through the first-hand accounts of the patient's analysts and Lacan and sets it in the context of mid-century psychoanalytic debate.
