Dries Dulsster’s Reign of Speech highlights the importance of moments of surprise in all facets of psychoanalytic practice: patients’ surprise at what unexpectedly comes out of their mouths in sessions, analysts’ surprise at what transpires in work with their supervisors, and supervisors’ surprise at what happens in work with their supervisees. A lively and surprising read!—Bruce Fink, Lacanian analyst, translator of Ecrits and of Seminars VI, VIII and XX.
Words can kill, radical listening can heal, that is the therapeutic cliché by excellence. But what is so radical about psychoanalytic listening and when does it heal? Dries Dulsster gives us answers coming from analysants, and that turned out to be a very good idea.
—Paul Verhaeghe, Lacanian analyst, Author of 'Does the Women Exist?' and 'On Being Normal and Other Disorders.'
