Lacan in 20 Key Phrases: Language, Desire, and the Structure of the Psyche is the second volume in the international series “Psychoanalysis in 20 Sentences,” written by Brazilian author, psychoanalyst, and philosopher William Marcos. This book presents, in a clear and accessible manner, the central concepts of Jacques Lacan, one of the most complex and influential thinkers in contemporary psychoanalysis. In twenty essential sentences, the work translates the depth of Lacanian thought into practical reflections on language, desire, the unconscious structured as a language, and the relationship between subject and Other.
Alongside the first volume dedicated to Freud (Freud in 20 Key Phrases: Dreams, Repression, and the Unconscious), this work continues the journey through psychoanalytic theory, which will also include Klein, Winnicott, Jung, and Ferenczi. The series constitutes an indispensable guide for students, researchers, and mental health professionals, as well as for readers who wish to understand the foundations of psychoanalysis in an introductory and consistent manner.
This volume is not merely an introduction: it is a map for navigating Lacan’s complexity, offering the reader key insights that benefit both academic study and clinical practice.
Target audience: psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists, philosophers, humanities students, and anyone interested in understanding how Lacan renewed and radicalized Freudian theory.
