What Lacan Said about Women : A Psychoanalytic Study (Contemporary Theory)

Paris psychoanalyst Soler summarizes what French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan (1901-81) had to say about such matters as hysteria and femininity, the mother in the unconsciousness, the social impact of feminine sexuality, and love that is not mad. Ce que lacan disait des femmes: Etude de psychanalyse, published in 2003 by Editions du Champ Lacanien, won that year's Prix Psycȟ for the best work in psychology and psychoanalysis.
