Death and Desire: Psychoanalytic Theory in Lacan's Return to Freud

By Richard Boothby

Book Overview

Presents, in Lacanian terms, an integration of psychoanalytic theory in which the battery of key Freudian concepts - from the dynamics of the Oedipus complex to the ego, id, and super-ego - are seen to intersect in Freud's most far-reaching and speculative formulation of a drive towards death.
