The Subject of Lacan

Mach 5

Description

Written with the American psychological community in mind, The Subject of Lacan provides an accessible introduction to the psychoanalytic theories of Jacques Lacan. The contributors address issues and theories that define the field of psychology for its practitioners, researchers, and theorists. Focusing on a wide range of topics, including cognitive science, family therapy, psychoanalytic technique, psychotherapy versus psychopharmacology, gender and sexuality, psychology of religion, psycholinguistics, and cultural diversity, this book makes an important contribution to the understanding of the radically innovative character and complexity of Lacanian theory.

Contributors include Willy Apollon, Suzanne Barnard, Mario L. Beira, Donna Bentolila, Danielle Bergeron, Mark Bracher, Daniel L. Buccino, Lucie Cantin, David S. Caudill, Bruce Fink, Stephen R. Friedlander, Patricia Gherovici, Kareen Ror Malone, David Metzger, Paola Mieli, John Muller, Ian Parker, Andre Patsalides, Ellie Ragland, Robert Samuels, Lucia Villela, Valerie Walkerdine, and Slavoj Zoizuek.
