Five Lessons on the Psychoanalytic Theory of Jacques Lacan is the first English translation of a classic text by one of the foremost commentators on Lacan's work. Juan-David Nasio makes numerous theoretical advances and eloquently demonstrates the clinical and practical import of Lacan's theory, even in its most difficult or obscure moments. What is distinctive, in the end, about Nasio's treatment of Lacan's theory is the extent to which Lacan's fundamental concepts--the unconscious, jouissance, and the body--become the locus of the overturning or exceeding of the discrete boundaries of the individual. The recognition of the implications of Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, then, brings the analyst to adopt what Nasio calls a "special listening."

This review is from: Five Lessons on the Psychoanalytic Theory of Jacques Lacan (Suny Series in Psychoanalysis & Culture) (Suny Series, Psychoanalysis & Culture) (Paperback)
This book is oriented as a seminar which makes it more straightforward than any other regular book. Nasio was disciple of Lacan, but he didn't dig all the crazy stuff Lacan said. So, you won't see any crazy mathematical metaphor as in Lacan work. That is, Nasio talks about Lacanian theory without the nonsense of Lacan that was so criticized by Sokal and Brickmont. A Must to Have book.
