Jacques Lacan
Jacques-Marie Émile Lacan (April 13, 1901 – September 9, 1981) was a French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.
A major figure in the history of psychoanalysis, the most controversial psychoanalyst since Freud himself, Lacan has had an enormous influence throughout a broad range of disciplines within the human sciences.
Works
Lacan presented his most important theoretical contributions to psychoanalysis through his seminar.
Lacan's most important papers are collected in his Écrits (1966); fewer than one-third of them are included in the English Écrits: A Selection (1977).
