Abstract
The chapter explores aspects of the actual and potential relations between Joyce’s work and psychoanalysis, showing how the Jungian, Freudian and Lacanian strands of that relation offer different models of the psychoanalytic interpretation of literature and raise different questions for Joycean criticism. It concludes by reading Joyce’s story “A Painful Case” to begin re-opening those questions, arguing that Joyce’s text can be linked to the unfinished Freudian concept of transference
