The subject of Lacan: A Lacanian reader for psychologist

Abstract

(from the cover) Written with the American community in mind, this text provides an introduction to the psychoanalytic theories of J. Lacan. The contributors address issues and theories that define the field of psychology for its practitioners, researchers, and theorists. Focusing on a wide range of topics, including cognitive science, family therapy, psychoanalytic technique, psychotherapy vs psychopharmacology, gender and sexuality, psychology of religion, psycholinguistics, and cultural diversity, this text aims to provide an understanding of the radically innovative character and complexity of Lacanian theory.
