DESCRIPTION: The story of Lacan, and why his work so profoundly influenced the French psyche, was told clearly and unerringly by Sherry Turkle in this groundbreaking work, first published in 1978. Psychoanalytic Politics now contains two illuminating new additions. An extensive preface explains Lacan's impact on the French. 'Dynasty 1991', provides a fascinating portrayal of the last years of Lacan's life and the events that unfolded in the years following his death in 1981.
