Do You Read Me?
The Semiotics of Psychoanalysis
About the Book
"Do You Read Me?" explores the fundamental semiotic gap between the signifier and the signified in psychoanalytic practice. Miller examines how language both reveals and conceals psychological truth, drawing on Analytical Psychology's early work to develop a new framework for clinical interpretation.
Key Concepts
- • The structural limitations of language in therapeutic settings
- • Semiotic analysis of patient narratives
- • The role of interpretation in psychoanalytic practice
- • Bridging Analytical Psychology with clinical application
For Whom This Book Is Written
This book is designed for clinical practitioners, academics, and students of psychoanalysis who seek to deepen their understanding of how language structures unconscious desires and shapes therapeutic outcomes. While academically rigorous, Miller's clear writing style makes complex semiotic concepts accessible to readers with foundational knowledge in psychoanalysis or cultural theory.
