Jacques Lacan was one of the most important psychoanalysts ever to
have lived. Building upon the work of Sigmund Freud, he sought to
refine Freudian insights with the use of linguistics, arguing that
"the structure of unconscious is like a language". Controversial
throughout his lifetime both for adopting mathematical concepts in
his psychoanalytic framework and for advocating therapy sessions of
varying length, he is widely misunderstood and often unfairly
dismissed as impenetrable. In this clear, wide-ranging primer,
Lionel Bailly demonstrates how Lacan's ideas are still vitally
relevant to contemporary issues of mental health treatment.
Defending Lacan from his numerous detractors, past and present,
Bailly guides the reader through Lacan's canon, from "l'objet petit
a" to "The Mirror Stage" and beyond. Including coverage of
developments in Lacanian psychoanalysis since his death, this is
the perfect introduction to the great modern theorist.
