The Living Discourse is a seminal work on one of the most neglected topics in psychoanalysis, that of affect. Originally published in French as Le Discours Vivant, and considered a classic in the psychoanalytic world, the book is structured into three parts: Affect within psychoanalytic literature Clinical practice of psychoanalysis: structure and process Theoretical study: affect, language and discourse, negative hallucination Written in a clear, lucid style, connecting theory to both culture and clinical practice, The Living Discourse will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, but also to those involved in cultural studies.


'This book is a testament to André Green's passionate search for the truth in the Freud's unanswered questions about affect'.
