Book desription: New York, New York, U.S.A: St. Martin's Press, 1986. Trade Paperback. Very Good. This book addresses itself to the problem of understanding the relationship between psychoanalysis and language in terms of both traditional philosophical theories on language and contemporary linguistic theories; the contributors, from a variety of academic disciplines, discuss and evaluate the works of Jacques Lacan, the French psychoanalyst who re-emphasized the primacy of language in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis; the essays also explore the more general question of the place of language in human and social relationships (orange pictorial cover, very slight edgewear, small tear on page edge, slight scuff along lower edge of title page, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
