Lionel Bailly is Honorary Senior Lecturer in Psychoanalysis at UCL and Consultant Psychiatrist, North Essex Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
Well-written, carefully structured and broadly accessible. The author offers lucid explanations of key Lacanian concepts, without over-simplifying or having recourse to 'Lacan-light'. --Dany Nobus - Chair of Psychology and Psychoanalysis, Brunel University and author of Jaques Lacan Simply the clearest explanation of Lacan anywhere. The author succeeds where almost everyone else has failed. Highly readable and entertaining. --Peter Fonagy - Professor of Psychoanalysis, UCL & Chief Executive of the Anna Freud Centre
