Routledge - Six Moments in Lacan: Psychology and Psychoanalysis

Explore the connection between psychology and Lacanian psychoanalysis with Six Moments in Lacan by Routledge. Many readers first encounter Jacques Lacan through the lens of psychology, even though he maintained a known antagonism toward the discipline. This book addresses that tension by introducing Lacanian concepts to those interested in psychology while highlighting the core differences between the two fields. Through the use of lively examples, the text demonstrates how Lacanian ideas provide new ways to look at communication, identity, otherness, and inter-subjectivity. It is designed to be accessible, avoiding excessive jargon and willful obscurity to make complex theories more approachable for students and professionals alike. Whether you are studying clinical psychology or deep psychoanalytic theory, this work offers a fresh perspective on how these disciplines interact and where they diverge.
