These books use excerpts from the major texts to explain essential topics, such as Jacques Lacan's core ideas about enjoyment, which re-created our concept of psychoanalysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lacan's motto of the ethics of psychoanalysis involves a profound paradox. Traditionally, psychoanalysis was expected to allow the patient to overcome the obstacles which prevented access to \"normal\" sexual enjoyment; today, however, we are bombarded by different versions of the injunction \"Enjoy!\" Psychoanalysis is the only discourse in which you are allowed not to enjoy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Slavoj Zizek's passionate defense of Lacan reasserts Lacan's ethical urgency. For Lacan, psychoanalysis is a procedure of reading and each chapter reads a passage from Lacan as a tool to interpret another text from philosophy, art or popular ideology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Slavoj Zizek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393329550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393329551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
