What is How to Read Lacan about?

The only thing of which one can be guilty is of having given ground relativeto one's desire' Jacques Lacan. Is psychoanalysis dead or are we to read frequent attacks on its theoretical'mistakes' and clinical 'frauds' as a proof of its vitality? Slavoj Zizek'spassionate defence of Lacan reasserts the ethical urgency of psychoanalysis.Traditionally, psychoanalysis was expected to allow the patient to overcomethe obstacles which prevented access to 'normal' sexual enjoyment. Today,however, we are bombarded from all sides by different versions of theinjunction 'Enjoy!' Lacan reminds us that psychoanalysis is the only discoursein which you are allowed not to enjoy. Since for Lacan psychoanalysis itselfis a procedure of reading, each chapter uses a passage from Lacan as a tool tointerpret another text from philosophy, art or popular ideology, applying hisideas to Hegel and Hitchcock, Shakespeare and Dostoevsky.__About the AuthorSlavoj Žižek, philosopher and psychoanalyst, heads the InternationalCenter of Humanities at Birkbeck College.
