Lacan for Beginners

Lacan's psychoanalytical theories and practices are the most important since Freud's, yet Lacan spoke and wrote with an obscure and almost impenetrable style that makes references to many technical disciplines, including philosophy, linguistics, and mathematics--and his ideas changed over the years. Lacan for Beginners introduces readers to a largely chronological development of Lacan's theories and their relation to clinical practice.
