His 'followers' are loyal and legion. Yet his ideas are complex and densely conveyed. Lacan's detractors have accused him of obscurantism, pretentiousness, and even incoherence; his psychoanalytic practice and his personal life were complicated - he was famous and contentious in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMartin Murray provides a lucid account of Lacan's key concepts, including the mirror stage, and his relationship to Freud's ideas, amongst many others. Tracing their origins in his diverse interests: art, psychiatry, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, and psychoanalysis. Murray also investigates Lacan's professional life, personal life, and institutional influence in an attempt to understand the charismatic and controversial person he became.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431048265964,"sku":"9780745315904","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745315904.jpg?v=1774558018","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/jacques-lacan-by-martin-murray-9780745315904","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
