Why Lacan? - by Christian Dunker

This work from the Great Psychoanalysts Collection has the ambition not only to present the reader with the main coordinates of Lacan's work, but also to place him in our time and in our cultural context. Christian Dunker brings his approach to this great psychoanalyst in order to reveal his place and insertion in the psychoanalytic field – his unique affiliation with Freudian thought –, as well as indicating how contact with his ideas contributes to the understanding of problems that our time raises and for the clinic of contemporary malaise.
