Cambridge Educational - Jacques Lacan

Jacques Lacan

Psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and heir to Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan wrote and lectured from 1953 to 1979, initiating a sweeping resurgence of psychoanalysis in France and throughout the world. In this program, Lacan’s remarkable career is traced and his importance highlighted by references to the works of philosophers Jacques Derrida and Christian Jambet. Psychoanalysts Jean-Bertrand Pontalis, Juliet Mitchell, and Mario Belo comment on Lacan’s exceptional analyses of such topics as the western family, the contradictions of love, and the illusions of the French Revolution.
