Milan's testimony shows that Lacan's method of working was based on the idea that the traditional way of interpreting provoked resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Prior to \u003ci\u003eWhy Lacan\u003c\/i\u003e, Milan wrote a play, \u003ci\u003eGoodbye Doctor\u003c\/i\u003e, based on her experience as Lacan's patient. The play is structured around the sessions of Seriema with the Doctor. Through the analysis, Seriema discovers why she cannot give birth, namely, an unconscious desire to satisfy the will of her father who didn't authorize her to conceive. She ceases to be the victim of her unconscious, grasps the possibility of choosing a father for her child and thus becoming a mother. \u003ci\u003eGoodbye Doctor\u003c\/i\u003e has been adapted into a film, \u003ci\u003eAdieu Lacan\u003c\/i\u003e, by the director Richard Ledes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnalyzed by Lacan\u003c\/i\u003e features an Introduction by Milan to both works as well as a new interview with Mari Ruti about her writing and Lacan.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBetty Milan \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of novels, essays, plays, and \u003ci\u003ecricas\u003c\/i\u003e that have been published in Brazil, France, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, and China.
