Description:
Jacques Lacan is now taking his place as a major psychoanalytical theorist alongside Freud, Jung and Klein. Darian Leader, a practising psychoanalyst and senior lecturer in psychoanalytic studies at England's Leeds University, clarifies the central ideas of Lacanian theory. He guides the reader through Lacan's early studies of paranoia, and on to his analytical innovations - including the incorporation of structural linguistics into Freudianism. For anyone intrigued by Lacan's ideas but discouraged by the apparent arcane quality of his writings, here is the ideal introduction.
