Lacan's Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis

In this compilation of ten lectures delivered in 1986, psychoanalyst and author Harari examines the work of Lacan for general audiences as well as other analysts. He describes the fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis in light of Lacan's thought, language, the unconscious, repetition, scopicity, transference, decoy, deception, knowledge, the ideal, drive, sexuality, separation, metaphor, and interpretation. In the process he delineates the post-modern reading of Freud by Lacan, and makes it accessible in practice as well as theory. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
