Understanding Lacan

By Hervé Castanet

Freud invented psychoanalysis. Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) prevented it from disappearing into deviations and compromises. His written work and oral seminars have made a decisive contribution to the analytical clinic and to universal knowledge. Lacan is a difficult author, which is why we need to talk about him in a logical, non-polemical way.The aim of Understanding Lacan is didactic: how does Lacan reinvent psychoanalysis, finding a way out of Freud's impasses? The genius of Freud is matched by the genius of Lacan.
