French psychoanalyst Lacan (1901-81) has generated more excitement in cultural studies and literature than in psychoanalysis. Known as a brilliant but confusing commentator, he borrows freely from many disciplines, using analogy, metaphor, self-contradiction, and other provocations with reader-be-damned flamboyance. This is the first volume in a new English translation of Lacan's landmark crits (1966), which comprises 29 major texts and six introductions and appendixes. Herein, Lacan discusses nine facets of his psychoanalytic theory and technique. He claims that the unconscious is structured like a language and is known for his theory of the "mirror stage" in child development. Those who want to decide for themselves whether to praise or bury Lacan need look no further than this careful translation by Fink (psychology, Duquesne Univ.; A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis), which belongs primarily in academic collections. Intelligent lay readers will be able to grasp some of the text, but they will need additional assistance, e.g., Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen's Lacan: The Absolute Master, a rich and relatively accessible overview by a native French speaker, and Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont's Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science, which devotes a chapter to Lacan's misuse of mathematics.E.

Review

'Lacan's work marks a crucial moment in the history of psychoanalysis, a moment which will perhaps prove as significant as Freud's original discovery of the unconscious.' - Colin MacCabe 'Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Georges Bataille had often urged Lacan to publish the text of his seminars: the influence of his teaching can be observed in works by Maurice Blanchot and Michel Foucault... in Roland Barthes's studies on semiology and Louis Althusser's "reading" of Marx. But it can be felt still more basically [in] the current revival of interest in psychoanalysis... the desire for a return to origins which is a common factor in so many avenues of modern thought.' - The Times Literary Supplement
