More about the book

The book explores the rise of Freudianism in France during the aftermath of the 1960s, highlighting the impact of significant political events like the loss of Algeria and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. It details how Jacques Lacan's reinterpretation of Freud's ideas provided a new framework for understanding human relationships and societal dynamics. This intellectual movement gained prominence in French culture, paralleling existentialism and Marxism, yet remained largely unfamiliar to American audiences, marking a unique chapter in psychoanalytic thought.
