Lacan was one of the 20th Century's most important psychoanalysts. He refined Freudian insights on development and clinical practice. In this clear, comprehensive primer to the notoriously demanding thinker, Bailly introduces Lacan's canon, from le petit objet a to The Mirror Stage and beyond. Also explaining Lacan's relevance to contemporary issues of mental health, this is the perfect guide to this seminal theorist.
