*Winner of the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Prize, 2016* The
wide-ranging and brilliant ideas of the French psychoanalyst
Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) have had a major influence on modern
thought. His 'followers' are loyal and legion. Yet his ideas are
complex and densely conveyed. Lacan's detractors have accused him
of obscurantism, pretentiousness and even incoherence, his
psychoanalytic practice and his personal life were complicated - he
was famous and contentious in equal measure. Martin Murray provides
a lucid account of Lacan's key concepts, including the mirror
stage, and his relationship to Freud's ideas, amongst many others.
Tracing their origins in his diverse interests: art, psychiatry,
philosophy, anthropology, linguistics and psychoanalysis. Murray
also investigates Lacan's professional life, personal life and
institutional influence in an attempt to understand the charismatic
and controversial person he became.
