Each paper contains a [[multiplicity]] of allusions and references that [[need]] to be unpacked, Jacques if we are to begin [[understanding]] [[Lacan]]'s [[ideas]]. "[[The Mirror Stage]]", for example, is only published book was his doctoral thesis in medicineseven pages long, <i>De la psychose paranoïaque dans ses rapports avec la personnalité</i> (<i>On paranoid psychosis in its relations with personality</i>; 1932)while "[[The Signification of the Phallus]]" is just nine, written from a psychiatric, rather than psychoanalyticbut each of these papers has generated volumes of explication, perspectivecritique and applications.</p>

Lacan only published one book in his lifetime - ''Écrits'' (Paris: Editions du Seuil, 1966), and oversaw the editing of the first of his seminars - ''Le Séminaire de Jacques Lacan, Livre XI: Les quatre concepts fondamentaux de la psychanalyse'' (Paris: Editions du Seuil, 1973). ==Translation==The [[English ]] [[translation]], ''[[Écrits: A Selection'' ]] by Alan [[Sheridan ]] ([[London]]: Tavistock Publications, 1977) , contains many of the key [[texts such as "]] we have discussed in the preceding chapters: 'The [[Mirror ]] [[Stage"]]', "'The Rome [[Discourse]]'," "'The [[Agency ]] of the [[Letter ]] in the [[Unconscious]]'," "'The [[Meaning ]] of the [[Phallus" ]]' and "'The [[Subversion ]] of the [[Subject ]] and the [[Dialectic ]] of [[Desire]]'," but it still only consists of one-[[third ]] of the [[French ]] edition. A new translation of this selection has recently been produced by [[Bruce Fink]] (Écrits: A Selection, New York: Norton, 2002) but his translation of the [[complete]] Écrits is still awaited. Fink's extensively annotated translations will undoubtedly become the standard authoritative texts of Lacan in the coming years but as this is not yet the [[case]] all references in this introduction are to the Sheridan edition.
