The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psycho-Analysis

The French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan has had a great influence within psychoanalysis and, perhaps, a greater one beyond his field. Famous for his annual seminars in which he discussed Freud, psychoanalysis, and language, Lacan stated that his purpose was to return Freud to French psychoanalysis. In FOUR FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS, Lacan addresses the unconscious, the transference, the drive, and repetition. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
