Shandean Psychoanalysis

This unique book examines the psychanalysis of madness and trauma through an extended discussion of Tristram Shandy. Crossover between literary studies and psychoanalysis. Françoise Davoine explores the entire novel, taking a psychoanalytic lens to the monologue by Tristram's embryo in the opening chapter, the war traumas of Captain Toby and Corporal Trim, and several key themes including confinement, love and history. The book presents Shandean wit as a valuable tool in therapeutic work.
