1.0 out of 5 stars false premises, 12 Jun 2009

By	charlie james (hackney) - See all my reviews

Well Lacan is the high priest of reader flattery after all- with no credible underpinning to his theories but plenty of impenetrable waffle mixed in with a neo mystical interpretation that appeals to the artist without talent- and Leader is the arch defender of endless psychoanalysis and resists anything such as - god forbid- regulation of fellow practitioners or short term tools such as CBT which may help prepare for the deeper trauma's unleashed by the endless in depth probing he promotes

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't let go of the gobbledegook, 29 May 2009

By	P. G. Green - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You would think that an introduction to Lacan would be written with a non-specialist reader in mind. I'm afraid that this introduction makes no such concession - it fairly quickly lapses into unnecessarily impenetrable terminology. As it is written by a paid-up Lacanian, one can't help but wonder whether or not there's something to the oft-repeated accusation that Lacanian ideas lack precision, are pseudo-profound, and hide this fact behind a jargon habit.
