In Psychoanalyzing, Serge Leclaire offers a thorough and lucid
exposition of the psychoanalysis that has emerged from the French
"return to Freud, " unfolding and elaborating the often enigmatic
pronouncements of Jacques Lacan and patiently working through the
central tenets of the "Ecole freudienne." As a concise but nuanced
introduction to the subject, Psychoanalyzing will prove indispensable to
anyone interested in psychoanalysis, especially those curious about its
Lacanian reconceptualization and the linguistic theory of the
unconscious and its effects. Leclaire's study is particularly valuable
for the way its author links theoretical issues to psychoanalytic
practice.
