Synopsis

Joël Dor’s Introduction to the Reading of Lacan is the demystifying first in The Lacanian Clinical Field, a landmark series that elucidates clinical applications of Lacanian theory for the English-speaking audience. Dor probes the link between structuralism and linguistic theory, clarifying Lacan’s famous formulation that the unconscious is structured like a language, and proving that the mighty if opaque ideas of Jacques Lacan can be made understandable.
