Understanding Freud

Freud's name is inseparable from his discovery of the unconscious and the consequences he drew from it: psychoanalysis. This book takes up the issues raised by Freud with force and clarity, and sheds light on the crucial points. It shows how psychoanalysis' assault on humanity's self-esteem is still relevant today. To understand Freud is to enter the stage of otherness: we are not our only brain, nor our only body, nor our only family... Our specificity is to be subjects who speak, subject to the language that desire liberates. Herve Castanet, professeur des universites, est membre de l'Ecole de la Cause freudienne.
