(Mis)Understanding Freud with Lacan, Zizek, and Neuroscience

More about the book

The exploration of five essential Freudian concepts reveals their frequent misunderstanding, even among psychoanalysts. The author delves into post-Freudian theories, including neuropsychoanalysis and Lacanian thought, highlighting distortions in contemporary interpretations. By examining Freud's unpublished Project for a Scientific Psychology, the book positions these core ideas as foundational to both psychoanalysis and neurology, while challenging current brain science perspectives. It is aimed at students and scholars interested in psychoanalysis and related fields.
