Synopsis "the four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis"

This volume is based on a year's seminar in which Dr. Lacan addressed a larger, less specialized audience than ever before, among whom he could not assume familiarity with his work. For his listeners then, and for his readers now, he wanted to "introduce a certain coherence into the major concepts on which psycho-analysis is based," namely, the unconscious, repetition, the transference, and the drive. Along the way he argues for a structural affinity between psychoanalysis and language, discusses the relation of psychoanalysis to religion, and reveals his particular stance on topics ranging from sexuality and death to alienation and repression. This book constitutes the essence of Dr. Lacan's sensibility.

He is a French Lacanian psychoanalyst, founder of the World Association of Psychoanalysis. He began his training with Jean-Paul Sartre, whom he met at the age of 16. He then entered the École Normale Supérieure in Paris where, in 1964, he met Jacques Lacan. He attended Roland Barthes' seminars at the École pratique des hautes études. He was a disciple of Louis Althusser, along with Jacques Rancière and Ettiene Balibar. Driven by Althusser to study Lacan's complete works, he later formed a close relationship with the psychoanalyst and married his daughter Judith.
