Reviews

It is to the benefit of the broader Lacanian world that this pitch-perfect translation a decade or more in the making is now available. Longtime Lacan translator, Bruce Fink, and Polity Press, both deserve commendation for this new addition to the series of Lacan's seminars available in English. The scrupulous attention that has been dedicated to translating Lacan's French into idiomatic English, the research evident in the detailed translator's end-notes, and the formatting and finish of the final product (which includes a beautiful detail of Raphael's School of Athens as a cover illustration) warrant it a special place in this series. Psychodynamic Practice
