Lacan

This concise study offers a clear and informed reassessment of Lacan's ideas and how they revolutionized psychoanalysis. Specialists and newcomers alike will appreciate this examination of a complex figure who was by turns a master, a charlatan and a surrealist artist.

Susan Fairfield is an editor, translator, and poet. She is also the author of papers on literary criticism, a psychoanalyst, and co-editor of Bringing the Plague: Toward a Postmodern Psychoanalysis. She lives in the Bay Area of California.
