Overview

Times of Mourning: Bereavement, Clinical Challenge, and Subjectivity works around the homonymous property of the word duelo in Spanish, which means both grief and duel. Adriana Bauab argues that the mourning process is a challenge and an opportunity for the subject to recompose their symbolic universe, recovering the function of lack that can ignite desire. Citing multiple clinical examples, Bauab proposes new tools for the treatment of grief.

This book offers a thorough analysis of interrupting mourning processes, incorporating frameworks from both Freud and Lacan. Adriana Bauab incisively investigates mourning as a process of recovering from the unbearable castration of the Other, examining the complexities of mourning as demonstrated by characters such as Antigone and Hamlet. Mourning, Bauab proposes, means grief for the loss as well as a challenge to the integrity of human structure. -- Patricia Leyack, Freudian School of Buenos Aires
