Anxiety
Jacques Lacan is widely recognised as a key figure in the history of psychoanalysis and one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th Century. In Anxiety, now available for the first time in English, he explores the nature of anxiety, suggesting that it is not nostalgia for the object that causes anxiety but rather its imminence. In what was...Paperback$6100Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
Desire and its Interpretation
Desire and its Interpretation by Jacques Lacan reveals that desire is not a biological function. It is not correlated with a natural object, and its object is fantasised. Hence, desire is extravagant and cannot be grasped by those who attempt to master it. It plays tricks on them, and if unrecognised, it produces symptoms. In psychoanalysis, the goal is to...Hardback$14399Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
Ecrits
Brilliant and innovative, Jacques Lacan's work lies at the epicenter of modern thought about otherness, subjectivity, sexual difference, the drives, the law, and enjoyment.

Ecrits is a crucial text for those interested...Paperback$7599Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
First Writings
Before he became an analyst, Lacan was a psychiatrist. The articles in the present volume would not be being republished if they didn’t invite us to read them retroactively. What can they teach us about the formation of this future analyst? Lacan’s clinical approach is rooted in the uniqueness of each case, which is only ever chosen for its “singularity”....Hardback$4799Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
From an Other to the other, Book XVI
Sollers once wrote that, to him, Claudel was first and foremost the man who wrote, “Paradise is around us at this very moment, all its forests attentive like a great orchestra that invisibly adores and implores.

Formations of the Unconscious
When I decided to explore the question of Witz, or wit, with you this year, I undertook a small enquiry. It will come as no surprise at all that I began by questioning a poet.

On a Discourse that Might not Be a Semblance
The title is, at first glance, enigmatic. On a Discourse that Might not Be a Semblance concerns men and women—their most concrete, amorous, and sexual relations in everyday life, as well as in their dreams and fantasies. It has nothing to do with what biology studies under the heading of sexuality, of course. Must we leave this field to poetry,...Hardback$5999Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -

The unfulfilled and unsatisfied mother around whom the child ascends the upward slope of his narcissism is someone real.

The Triumph of Religion
"I am the product of priests," Lacan once said of himself. Educated by the Marist Brothers (or Little Brothers of Mary), he was a pious child and acquired considerable, personal knowledge of the torments and cunning of Christian spirituality. He was wonderfully able to speak to Catholics and to bring them around to psychoanalysis. Jesuits flocked to his school. Freud,...Paperback$3599Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks -
On the Names-of-the-Father
What astonishing success the Name-of-the-Father has had! Everyone finds something in it. Who one's father is isn't immediately obvious, hardly being visible to the naked eye. Paternity is first and foremost determined by one's culture. As Lacan said, "The Name-of-the-Father creates the function of the father." But then where does the plural stem from? It isn't pagan, for it is...Paperback$3599Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 3-4 weeks
