Lacan For Beginners

Lacan's psychoanalytical theories and practices are the most important since Freud's, yet Lacan spoke and wrote with an obscure and almost impenetrable style that makes references to many technical disciplines, including philosophy, linguistics, and mathematics--and his ideas changed over the years. Lacan for Beginners introduces readers to a largely chronological development of Lacan's theories and their relation to clinical practice. Even among French philosophers Lacan has a reputation for being impenetrable; folks who attended his lectures sometimes were unsure what language he was speaking! A very useful introduction to the world of an complex and brilliant thinker.
