This [[text]] seeks to make Lacan's work understandable for both clinicians eager to [[figure]] out Lacan's theory and scholars in the various [[human]] [[sciences]], upon which Lacan's work draws. The book probes the link between [[structuralism]] and [[linguistic]] theory, clarifying Lacan's famous formulation that the unconscious is [[structured]] like a language. It further provides the necessary theoretical grounding for the clinical application of Lacanian theory.

A major and long overdue addition to the America/English [[psychoanalytic]] [[literature]]. . . . All major [[concepts]]-among them the [[mirror]] [[stage]], the [[Name]]-of-the-[[Father]], metaphor and [[metonymy]], the [[phallus]], the [[foreclosure]] of the subject-are developed in depth-Nicholas Kouretsas, Harvard Medical School

==Description==
This book presents the radically new [[theory]] of [[subjectivity]] found in the [[work]] of Jacques [[Lacan]]. Against the tide of post-[[structuralist]] thinkers who announce “the [[death]] of the [[subject]],” [[Bruce Fink]] explores what it means to come into [[being]] as a subject where impersonal forces once reigned, subjectify the [[alien]] roll of the dice at the beginning of our [[universe]], and make our own knotted web of our parents’ desires that led [[them]] to bring us into this [[world]].

Lucidly guiding readers through the labyrinth of [[Lacanian]] theory—unpacking such central notions as the [[Other]], object ''a'', the [[unconscious]] as [[structures]] like a [[language]], [[alienation]] and [[separation]], the paternal [[metaphor]], [[jouissance]], and [[sexual]] difference—Fink demonstrates in-depth [[knowledge]] of Lacan’s [[theoretical]] and [[clinical]] work. Indeed, this is the first book to appear in [[English]] that displays a firm grasp of both theory ''and'' [[practice]] of Lacanian [[psychoanalysis]], the [[author]] being one of the only Americans to have undergone [[full]] [[training]] with Lacan’s [[school]] in [[Paris]].

Fink leads the reader step by step into Lacan’s [[conceptual]] [[system]] to explain how one comes to be a subject—leading to [[psychosis]]. Presenting Lacan’s theory in the context of his clinical preoccupations, Fink provides the most balanced, sophisticated, and penetrating view of Lacan’s work to date—invaluable to the initiated and the uninitiated alike.

==Reviews==
"A major and long overdue addition to the America/English psychoanalytic literature. . . . All major concepts—among them the [[mirror stage]], the [[Name-of-the-Father]], metaphor and metonymy, the phallus, the foreclosure of the subject—are developed in depth."
