Jacques Lacan's writings have provoked intense controversy in French psycho-analytic circles, requiring as they do a radical reappraisal of the legacy bequeathed by Freud. This volume, based on a year's seminar, is particularly important, because he was addressing a larger and less specialised audience than ever before, and he wanted therefore 'to introduce a certain coherence into the major concepts on which psycho-analysis is based': namely the unconscious, repetition, the transference and the drive.
This book is considered the most concise statement yet of the ideas and issues that had aroused such passionate reactions in France and, following its translation n 1977, could gain the hearing they deserved in the English-speaking world.
