Summary

Provides an introduction to the author's thoughts. Drawing on examples from popular culture and common sense, this book explores a range of the author's important ideas, including his debt to Freud, linguistic unconsciousness and sexuality in its relation to psychoanalytic truth.

My Teaching Summary

My Teaching by Jacques Lacan

Bringing together three previously unpublished lectures presented to the public by Lacan at the height of his career, and prefaced by Jacques-Alain Miller, My Teaching is a clear, concise introduction to the thought of the influential psychoanalyst after Freud.

My Teaching Reviews

What does one discover in this book? First of all a language which, far from being jargon-heavy, has the ring of luminous clarity. Next, a sense of humour which delights in paradoxes, hops from one subject to another and takes the reader from the most elementary level to the most complex. A thought, of course, which cannot be easily summarized. A benevolence too, which reassures the layperson and helps when following the course of the talk. Finally, an immense fidelity which never ceases to invite us to reread Freud. * Elle *
This is certainly a book to recommend to all those who want to have a look at what Lacan has to say but who are reluctant to tackle his Ecrits or his Seminars. * Sciences humaines *
