Zusammenfassung:"Analyzed by Lacan brings together the first English translations of Betty Milan's testimony of her analysis with Lacan in the 1970s, the play, Goodbye Doctor, inspired by her experience, an Introduction by Milan to both works, and a new interview with her about her writing and Lacan. Milan's firsthand account of her analysis, Why Lacan, provides a unique and valuable perspective on how Lacan worked and his approach to psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theory. Milan's memoir shows that Lacan’s way of working was based on the idea that the traditional method of interpreting provoked resistance. Before writing the testimony, Milan wrote a play, Goodbye Doctor, based on her experience as Lacan's patient. The play is structured around the sessions of Seriema with the Doctor. Through the analysis, Seriema discovers why she cannot give birth, namely, an unconscious desire to satisfy the will of her father who didn’t authorize her to conceive. She ceases to be the victim of her unconscious, grasps the possibility of choosing a father for her child and thus becoming a mother. Goodbye Doctor has been adapted into a film, Adieu Lacan, by the director Richard Ledes. Analyzed by Lacan includes a new Introduction to both texts by Milan, an interview with Milan, and letters she received from Lacan."
