Description:

This text seeks to make Lacan's work understandable for both clinicians eager to figure out Lacan's theory and scholars in the various human sciences, upon which Lacan's work draws.

The book probes the link between structuralism and linguistic theory, clarifying Lacan's famous formulation that the unconscious is structured like a language. It further provides the necessary theoretical grounding for the clinical application of Lacanian theory.
