"Published in France as La jeune née in 1975, and now translated for the first time into English, The Newly Born Woman seeks to uncover the veiled structures of language and society that have situated women in the position called "woman's place." Through their readings of historical, literary, and psychoanalytic accounts, Hélène Cixous and Catherine Clément explore what is hidden and repressed in culture, revealing the unconscious of history. Their work is set within the context of American feminism in Sandra M. Gilbert's introduction, and translator, Betsy Wing's glossary provides the special vocabulary necessary for English-language readers."--back cover

The lives and legends of Jacques Lacan by Catherine Clément( Book )
40 editions published between 1981 and 1993 in 4 languages and held by 756 libraries worldwide
Est-il possible d'écrire un "vrai" livre d'initiation à Lacan, quand il est généralement admis que celui qui ne l'a pas ##entendu parler## ne peut presque pas comprendre sa pensée ni ses textes? Il semble que Catherine Clément ait réussi dans cet essai pédagogique et hagiographique - sans être toujours conforme à l'orthodoxie lacanienne - à "arracher le texte lacanien à sa réputation d'illisibilité", à force de passion. Public concerné: étudiants et public cultivé, intéressés à la littérature, à la philosophie, à la psychanalyse. Une initiation qui reste complexe et suppose de larges lectures

The weary sons of Freud by Catherine Clément( Book )
26 editions published between 1978 and 2015 in 3 languages and held by 430 libraries worldwide
"In this passionately written and controversial book, first published in 1978, Catherine Clément, Communist, feminist and analysand, asks what the social function of psychoanalysis should be and condemns what it has become. She attacks psychoanalysis as an institution disdainful of treatment and cure, serving the interests of a new intelligentsia, the nouveaux riches of a narcissistic literary culture and publishing industry. Contrasting the insights of psychoanalytic theory to the obsessive imitations of Jacques Lacan by those who followed him as a practitioner-trainer, she offers an anthropological perspective and a political critique of Parisian psychoanalysis as a profession. How has the attentive ear of the analyst become deaf to questions about the social and political meaning of his or her work? Does a woman who is both a socialist and analysand necessarily hear such questions more clearly and answer them differently? Clément reflects on her own history, the history of psychoanalysis and the history of the French left to demonstrate what an activist and feminist restoration of psychoanalysis could be."--Amazon.com, viewed June 29, 2015
