Reviews

This marvelously clear Introduction to Lacan is truly a pleasure to read, a deeply intelligent and concise guide to Lacan's famously complex theoretical edifice and its brilliant and fascinating logic. Beautifully written, sparklingly with insights, their text condenses an enormous body of work, leading us from the origins of Lacan's theory to its inspiring therapeutic culmination: the vision of a psychoanalysis that liberates desire and frees us from the twin dilemmas of submitting or resisting the desire of the other Jessica Benjamin This small book by Yadlin-Gadot and Hadar offers a big achievement. It is introductory in its lucidity and minimal use of jargon, but it is simultaneously subtly sophisticated and uttely non-trivial. It articulates a dimension of human existence relevant not only to the psychoanalytic field, across its various theories and methodologies, but also to any scholar of ideological struggles and of subjectivity as such. It brings out the genius of Lacan as an interpreter of Freud and a remarkably original thinker, whose ideas influenced Western culture as a whole Slavoj Zizek Lacanian psychonalysis is, worldwide, now one of the most important psychoanalytic approaches, yet it still often seems obscure and inaccessible. In this timely new introduction, Shlomit Yadlin Gadot and Uri Hadar provide a remarkably clear account of Lacan's central concepts. They focus especially on the 'subject-other' relationship, showing how Lacan gives us tools to understand human psychological development in its social-political context, in so doing offering an indispensable guide to psychosocial life Stephen Frosh I have never read a book that presents Lacanian thought with such clarity and sharpness while moving lively and freely between Lacanian concepts and their contemporary, original interpretation. This is not only an outstanding textbook dealing with Lacanian thought but a simultaneously poetic and clear, playful and rigorous. This is an extraordinary achievement in any context, but it is especially praiseworthy when it comes to a book dealing with the complicated languge of Lacan Dana Amir
