Lacan

Rating:
Summary: Deciphering Lacan
Review: Bowie's summaries of Lacanian psychoanalysis are both clear and complete. The organization of the book by broad topics (such as "Symbollic, Imaginary,Real...and True"), rather than by individual works, allows a Lacanian novice an overview of things to come, as well as an invaluable conceptual scaffolding that makes reading works such as "Ecrits" tolerable and comprehensible.
