Reviews and Endorsements
In this concise study, Alain Vanier offers a clear and informed reassessment of Lacan's multitude of writings and ideas and how they revolutionized psychoanalysis. Specialists and newcomers alike will appreciate this examination of Lacan, a complex and influential figure who was by turns a master, a charlatan, and a surrealist artist.
"Unbecoming characterizations are legion in the attempts to define him. . . . With this synthesizing work one will better understand the essential contribution of Lacan's work."
-Cultures en Mouvement
"Vanier's presentation clearly and succinctly reveals Lacan's final effort to mold his theory in a formal language. . . . The very quickness of the presentation, while avoiding reductionism, renders vivid and exciting the landmarks of Lacan's thought."
