[[Jacques Lacan:Index|Jacques-Marie Émile Lacan]] ([[Jacques Lacan:Chronology#1901|April 13, 1901]] – [[Jacques Lacan:Chronology#1981|September 9, 1981]]) was a [[French]] [[psychiatrist]] and [[psychoanalyst]].
He is one of the most important -- and most controversial -- figures in the history of [[psychoanalysis]], but is also acknowledged for his far-reaching influence across a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences.
