Feminine Sexuality: Jacques Lacan and the Ecole Freudienne
ISBN: 9780393302110 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The question of feminine sexuality has divided the psychoanalytic movement since the 1920s.

Lacan's rereading of Freud is seen here to reveal, in a way that no other account has been able to do,...
