[[Evans, Dylan]]. [[An Introductory Dictionary of Lacanian Psychoanalysis]]. 2003. New York: Brunner-Routledge.
=====Book Description=====
Jacques [[Lacan]]'s [[thinking]] revolutionized the [[theory]] and [[practice]] of [[psychoanalysis]] and had a major impact in fields as diverse as [[film]] studies, [[literary]] criticism, [[feminist]] theory and [[philosophy]]. Yet his writings are [[notorious]] for their complexity and idiosyncratic style.
Emphasizing the [[clinical]] basis of Lacan's [[work]], An Introductionary [[Dictionary]] of [[Lacanian]] Psychoanalysis is an [[ideal]] companion to his [[ideas]] for readers in every [[discipline]] where his influence is felt. The dictionary features: over 200 entries, explaining Lacan's own terminology and his use of common [[psychoanalytic]] expressions; details of the historical and institutional context of Lacan's work; reference to the origins of major [[concepts]] in the work of [[Freud]], [[Saussure]], [[Hegel]] and [[other]] key thinkers; and a [[chronology]] of Lacan's [[life]] and works.
This introduction provides a unique source of reference for [[psychoanalysts]] in [[training]] and in practice. Placing Lacan's ideas in their clinical context, the dictionary is also an ideal companion for readers in other disciplines.
=====Turn away from Lacan=====
Evans grew disillusioned with [[Lacanian psychoanalysis]], and turned into a disciple of evolutionary [[psychology]]. On this, he has written in an essay published under the title ‘From Lacan to Darwin’ in The Literary [[Animal]]; Evolution and the [[Nature]] of [[Narrative]].
