This companion to Lacan’s Seminar VI guides readers through an examination of desire, fantasy, dream interpretation, death, object a, and the signifier of the lack in the Other as they are elaborated by Lacan. Bruce Fink draws on his extensive experience as a practicing analyst and as a leading translator of Lacan’s work (including Seminar VI), in this highly accessible exploration which includes both close textual analysis and illustrative clinical vignettes.
Seminar VI, Desire and Its Interpretation, and Fink’s discussion of it here constitute a timely intervention for clinicians, for whom an engagement with desire is pivotal to the direction of the treatment, and for students and scholars interested in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, comparative literature, art, film, and social and political theory, for whom desire, fantasy, and object a may be useful conceptual tools.
Combining rigorous analysis and a clear writing style, this guide provides an invaluable new resource.
