About this listen

 Jacques Lacan was one of the most important psychoanalysts ever to have lived. Building upon the work of Sigmund Freud, he sought to refine Freudian insights with the use of linguistics and mathematics, arguing that 'the structure of unconscious is like a language'. He is widely misunderstood and often unfairly dismissed as impenetrable. In this clear, wide-ranging primer, Lionel Bailly demonstrates how Lacan’s ideas are still vitally relevant to contemporary issues of mental health treatment. Including coverage of developments in Lacanian psychoanalysis since his death, this is the perfect introduction to the great modern theorist.©2009 Lionel Bailly (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Philosophy Psychology Physical Exercise Mental Health

What the critics say

Well-written, carefully structured and broadly accessible. The author offers lucid explanations of key Lacanian concepts, without over-simplifying or having recourse to 'Lacan-light’." (Dany Nobus – Chair of Psychology and Psychoanalysis, Brunel University and author of Jaques Lacan and the Freudian Practice of Psychoanalysis)
"Simply the clearest explanation of Lacan anywhere. The author succeeds where almost everyone else has failed. Highly readable and entertaining." (Peter Fonagy – Freud Memorial Professor of Psychoanalysis, UCL and Chief Executive at the Anna Freud Centre, London)

Outstanding

An unusually lucid and entertaining introduction to Lacan, enlivened by examples from a clinical perspective and an excellent postscipt on Lacanian analysis. The narration is superb.
