那就让我们假定我们是睡着了。
——勒内·笛卡尔，《第一哲学沉思集》
西格蒙德·弗洛伊德曾语：“如果梦境是晦涩的，那是为了不让我的意识所反对的潜在想法遭到泄露，是迫不得已。”诗人亨利·米肖又认为，做梦的我们身上有着“午夜人”般奇特的经历，他是我们自身的“反面”。人类总是被 定义为理性动物或政治动物，那么，我们能否将人类定义为“做梦的动物”？
梦的解析是精神分析的重要课题，本书将对弗洛伊德所称“梦的工作”展开分析，这一心理过程也引发诸多哲学家的兴趣，从斯多葛学派到大卫·休谟，从笛卡尔到狄德罗，乃至斯宾诺莎和尼采，无数哲学家都曾诠释过梦，甚至弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙在其众多作品中所描绘的遐想的流动，也被人们认为是“白日做梦”的典型案例。
梦的外延在文学与电影创作中被不断扩展，甚至在政治生活中被赋予了意义。一九六三年，马丁·路德·金发表著名演讲《我有一个梦想》；《一九八四》中，温斯顿经历了极权主义的摧残，从此不再做梦了；而纳粹高层领导人罗伯特·莱伊曾写道：“在德国，唯一有着私人生活的人，是那些睡着了的人。”最终，人们说“人生如梦”。 做梦会给人类带来希望和慰藉吗？一个梦境不复存在的世界会使人类变得更加幸福，还是将成为一个泯灭人性的世界？
“不要再睡了！麦克白已经杀害了睡眠！”，威廉·莎士比亚让罪行骇人的麦克白夫人夜夜梦游，在噩梦中聊度余生。梦的奥义，或许就隐藏在这出人类的悲剧之中。
《梦》是读库“哲学系”译丛中的一种。“哲学系”译丛是一套由读库引自法国的哲学通识读物，每册围绕特定主题展开，旨在打破学术艰涩壁垒，引入哲学思考方法，触及现代文化的方方面面。每册小书都尝试以举证、思想取径与解读的方式，既探讨人类社会面临的大问题，也解决周遭生活的小烦恼；既享受思想之乐，也体验文字之美，使追求新知与热爱智慧成为可能。

斯拉沃热·齐泽克不是一个普通的思想家。他把精神分析、哲学和政治引人注目地融为一体，他的方法总是新鲜而令人着迷的。他的话题范围同样令人振奋，从当代生活的政治冷漠，到一个认为自己会被鸡吃掉的疯子的笑话，从《生死时速》中基努·里维斯的道德英雄主义，到厕所设计对民族心理的揭示。
在这本书中，托尼·迈尔斯给出了齐泽克关键思想的一个清晰而迷人的指引，并解释了齐泽克思想的主要来源，包括他对拉康精神分析的重要参与。运用大众文化和日常生活的例子，迈尔斯第一次概述了齐泽克作品所处理的主要问题，包括：
• 主体是什么并且它为何如此重要？
• 后现代性为何如此可怕？
• 我们如何区分现实和意识形态？
• 男人和女人之间的关系是什么？
• 种族主义为何总是一种幻想？
《导读齐泽克》是任何一个想要理解这位批评家——特里·伊格尔顿所说的“近几十年来欧洲出现的在精神分析界，诚然也是一般文化理论界的最令人敬畏的杰出倡导者”——的思想的人的必要读物。

欲望的客体无法直视，拉康的理论亦需“斜目而视”。在《斜目而视:透过通俗文化看拉康》中，齐泽克一方面透过通俗作品解析拉康的理论，揭示“无意识的逻辑”，勾勒“欲望的原理”；另一方面借助拉康理论解读通俗作品，这既包括希区柯克、安东尼奥尼、大卫•林奇、赛乔尔•莱昂、弗里茨•朗、雷利•史考特、乔治.米勒等著名导演的电影，又包括阿加莎•克里斯蒂、斯蒂芬，金、帕特里西娅•海史密斯等通俗作家的小说，以及柯南.道尔塑造的福尔摩斯、雷蒙•钱德勒塑造的菲利普•马娄等人物形象。作者对通俗作品的解读，彰显了“通俗”作品的“非通俗”之维，展示了“通俗”作品的现代乃至后现代蕴味。

In this engrossing memoir, Saks, a professor of law and psychiatry at the University of Southern California, demonstrates a novelist's skill of creating character, dialogue and suspense. From her extraordinary perspective as both expert and sufferer (diagnosis: Chronic paranoid schizophrenia with acute exacerbation; prognosis: Grave), Saks carries the reader from the early little quirks to the full blown falling apart, flying apart, exploding psychosis. Schizophrenia rolls in like a slow fog, as Saks shows, becoming imperceptibly thicker as time goes on.- Along the way to stability (treatment, not cure), Saks is treated with a pharmacopeia of drugs and by a chorus of therapists. In her jargon-free style, she describes the workings of the drugs (getting med-free, a constant motif) and the ideas of the therapists and physicians (psychologist, psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, cardiologist, endocrinologist). Her personal experience of a world in which she is both frightened and frightening is graphically drawn and leads directly to her advocacy of mental patients' civil rights as they confront compulsory medication, civil commitment, the abuse of restraints and the absurdities of the mental care system. She is a strong proponent of talk therapy (While medication had kept me alive, it had been psychoanalysis that helped me find a life worth living). This is heavy reading, but Saks's account will certainly stand out in its field.

At eight years old, Saks began suffering hallucinations and obsessive fears of being attacked. An adolescent experimentation with drugs provoked her parents to enroll her in a drug treatment program. But Saks' incredible self-control masked the fact that she was suffering from a debilitating mental illness. By the time she entered graduate school at Oxford University, her symptoms were so severe—including full-blown psychotic episodes and suicidal fantasies—that she was hospitalized. Through Oxford, law school at Yale, and a move to Los Angeles to work in the law school of the University of California, Saks struggled mightily to balance her ambitions with her illness, which was eventually diagnosed as schizophrenia. Never wanting to concede to her mental illness, Saks founds calm and comfort in a rigorous work routine. An analyst characterized her as having three lives: as Elyn, as Professor Saks, and as the Lady of the Charts mental patient. As Saks battled to get off medication and leave behind the Lady of the Charts, she fought for the rights of mental patients, and came to terms with her own limitations. Bush, Vanessa

Review

Jacques Lacan was one of the most important psychoanalysts ever to have lived. Building upon the work of Sigmund Freud, he sought to refine Freudian insights with the use of linguistics, arguing that the structure of unconscious is like a language. Controversial throughout his lifetime both for adopting mathematical concepts in his psychoanalytic framework and for advocating therapy sessions of varying length, he is widely misunderstood and often unfairly dismissed as impenetrable. In this clear, wide-ranging primer, Lionel Bailly demonstrates how Lacan's ideas are still vitally relevant to contemporary issues of mental health treatment. Defending Lacan from his numerous detractors, past and present, Bailly guides the reader through Lacan's canon, from l'objet petit a to The Mirror Stage and beyond. Including coverage of developments in Lacanian psychoanalysis since his death, this is the perfect introduction to the great modern theorist.

本书系统阐述了霍妮文化神经症理论的基本主张，详细论证了文化因素与神经症形成之间的关系，提出以文化决定论取代弗洛伊德的生物决定论。霍妮认为：“深入探讨有效地导致神经症的各种动力，就会发现，存在着一种一切神经症所共有的基本因素，这就是焦虑……无论神经症的结构多么复杂，这种焦虑始终都是引发神经症过程，并维持其运转的动力。”本书是霍妮对正统精神分析的彻底批判和修正，标志着其思想的形成，也标志着精神分析社会文化学派开始形成。
本书以语言平实、清晰明了著称，在简单易懂中蕴涵深刻意义，在出版之初就受到学界的好评和重视，之后多次再版、重印，成为心理学界的畅销书。
本书的重点在于强调神经症患者实际存在的冲突和他为解决这些冲突所付出的努力，以及神经患者实际存在的焦虑和他为对抗这些焦虑所建立起来的防御系统。这种对真实处境的强调，并不意味着我放弃关于神经症的形成是来自童年的早期经验这一观念。

本书是齐泽克通过好莱坞电影来分析美国大众文化，进而介绍拉康学说的一本文化批评著作。书中分析了好莱坞电影的种种“症状”——为什么一封信总抵达它的目的地？为什么女人是男人的一个症状？为什么每个行动都是一次重复？为什么菲勒斯会出现？为什么总有两个父亲？为什么现实总是多重的？齐泽克将精神分析、主体性、意识形态和大众文化融于一炉，在影像和影像背后的大众文化肌理处，有其独特的见解，从而开创了一个全新的哲学领域。他用黑格尔和康德来说明拉康，同时也用政治和大众文化来证明拉康。本书中，他将拉康的理论深化和发展，并使之驰骋于以好莱坞电影为代表的美国大众文化。

A pioneering researcher and one of the world's foremost experts on traumatic stress offers a bold new paradigm for healing
Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Such experiences inevitably leave traces on minds, emotions, and even on biology. Sadly, trauma sufferers frequently pass on their stress to their partners and children.
Renowned trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain's wiring-specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neurofeedback, mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other therapies. Based on Dr. van der Kolk's own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score offers proven alternatives to drugs and talk therapy-and a way to reclaim lives.
