Product Description

Product Description
This introduction provides a unique source of reference for psychoanalysts in training and in practice. Placing Lacan's ideas in their clinical context, the dictionary is also an ideal companion for readers in other disciplines.

From the Back Cover
Jacques Lacan is arguably the most original and influential thinker since Freud. His ideas have revolutionised the clinical practice of psychoanalysis and continue to have a major impact in fields as diverse as film studies, literary criticism, feminist theory and philosophy. Lacan's writings are notorious for their complexity and idiosyncratic style and An Introductory Dictionary of Lacanian Psychoanalysis will be invaluable for reading in every discipline where his influence is felt.
Detailed definitions are provided for over two hundred Lacanian terms. Attention is given both to Lacan's use of common psychoanalytic terms and how his own terminology developed through the various stages of his teaching. Taking full account of the clinical basis of Lacan's work, the dictionary details the historical and institutional background to Lacanian ideas. Each major concept is traced back to its origins in the work of Freud, Saussure and Hegel and others.
An Introductory Dictionary of Lacanian Psychoanalysis provides a unique source of reference for psychoanalysts in training and in practice. Placing Lacan's ideas in their clinical context, the dictionary is an ideal companion for readers in other disciplines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable, 14 Aug 2008
By A reader (London) - See all my reviews
This book has saved me many headaches. It's clear, coherent and constantly references its sources for quick access to the right places in Lacan or Freud if you want it from the horse's mouth. Most importantly, it has opened up Lacanian thought for me without skimming over details or complexities too much, as those '... for Beginners' books sometimes can.

This book isn't for beginners, but we all get perplexed sometimes and without it, I might be sobbing in a darkened room with a damp towel around my head.
