Darian Leader is a Lacanian psychoanalyst and founding member of the Center for Freudian Analysis and Research (CFAR) in London. He is a thinker, speaker, and writer whose intelligence and clarity reach a wide international audience — Lacanian and beyond. Among his prolific publications are titles such as: Jouissance: Sexuality, Suffering, and Satisfaction (2021); “Rereading Little Hans” (2021); Why Can’t We Sleep? (2019); Strictly Bipolar (2013); and What Is Madness? (2011); Why Do People Get Ill?. Most recently, in 2023 he published his latest book, Is It Ever Just Sex? He also features in several YouTube lectures, including: “Interpretation” (2022); “On Jouissance” (2022); and “What Is Sex?” (2022). In all of his writings and talks, Leader illustrates his belief that psychoanalysis thrives on real questions — on exploring what we don’t know — and inspires his readers to question even further.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, the learners will be able to:
- describe constructions and how they differ from interpretations.
- discuss the usefulness of constructions in the clinical situation.
- discuss the concepts of madness and dream, conviction and belief, along with Freud’s idea, in “Constructions of Analysis”, that humankind as a whole has developed “delusions which are inaccessible to logical criticism and which contradict reality” (SE, vol. XXIII, p 269).
