Junkie Drives: A Lacanian Psychoanalysis of Drug Consumption

60-page A5-size booklet, written in an accessible language, for clinical or personal use, looking at what non-normativizing psychoanalysis can teach us about the enjoyment of drugs, the human struggle with pleasure, and what it might mean to live well with drugs, meaning, a self-determined, desirous, and multi-faceted life where we don’t hand over more agency to drugs than we’d like to.

Especially suited for:

± everyone who ever wanted to get a hands-on, jargon-free grasp on Freudian/Lacanian concepts of drive, desire, jouissance, traversing your fantasy, neurosis, psychosis, perversion, death drive, repetition compulsion;

± everyone who enjoys drugs and wants to read a psychology—not just a morality or a recipe—of drug enjoyment;

± everyone who ever felt frustrated with state-provided and mainstream addiction treatment.
