'The only thing of which one can be guilty is of having given
ground relative to one's desire' Jacques Lacan. Is psychoanalysis
dead or are we to read frequent attacks on its theoretical
'mistakes' and clinical 'frauds' as a proof of its vitality? Slavoj
Zizek's passionate defence of Lacan reasserts the ethical urgency
of psychoanalysis. Traditionally, psychoanalysis was expected to
allow the patient to overcome the obstacles which prevented access
to 'normal' sexual enjoyment. Today, however, we are bombarded from
all sides by different versions of the injunction 'Enjoy!' Lacan
reminds us that psychoanalysis is the only discourse in which you
are allowed not to enjoy. Since for Lacan psychoanalysis itself is
a procedure of reading, each chapter uses a passage from Lacan as a
tool to interpret another text from philosophy, art or popular
ideology, applying his ideas to Hegel and Hitchcock, Shakespeare
and Dostoevsky.
