Lacan. Introduction to Structural Psychoanalysis

The encounter with French structuralism and, above all, with structural linguistics, gave post-war psychoanalysis new and powerful impulses. This reorientation, which is both a return to Freud and a revision of his texts, is closely linked to the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and his school. The theory developed within its framework not only had a decisive, although not undeniable, influence on the theory and practice of clinical psychoanalysis, but also opened up new perspectives on cultural and social phenomena in the context of unconscious semantic, semantic and motivational relationships. The work “Lacan. Introduction to Structural Psychoanalysis” by the famous Austrian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst August Rus offers a detailed examination of the basic concepts of Lacanian teaching and can serve as an excellent starting point for familiarizing yourself with the ideas of this outstanding French psychoanalyst.
