In this original work of psychoanalytic theory, John Muller explores the formative power of signs and their impact on the mind, the body and subjectivity, giving special attention to work of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and the American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce.

Jacques Lacan's seminar on -The Purloined Letter- at once challenged literary theorists and revealed a radically new conception of psychoanalysis.
