The author's writings, and especially the seminars for which he has
become famous, have provoked intense controversies in French
analytic circles, requiring as they do a radical reappraisal of the
legacy bequeathed by Freud. This volume is based on a year's
seminar, which is of particular importance because he was
addressing a larger, less specialist audience than ever before,
amongst whom he could not assume familiarity with his work. For his
listeners then, and for his readers now, he wanted "to introduce a
certain coherence into the major concepts on which psycho-analysis
is based", namely the unconscious, repetition, the transference and
the drive. In re-defining these four concepts he explores the
question that, as he puts it, moves from "Is psycho-analysis a
science?" to "What is a science that includes psycho-analysis?"
