Abstract

Although the work of Jacques Lacan, the French psychoanalyst, remains stubbornly inside academic corridors for most Anglophones, he is widely received in many countries in psychology departments, in the mental health fields, and of course in psychoanalysis (Hill, 2002; Parker, 2010; Roudinesco, 1997). Thankfully, in recent years, there is more evidence of specifically clinical works by English-speaking therapists with a Lacanian orientation and Anglophone appropriations of Lacanian ideas for the clinic and for psychology (Miller, 2011; Fink, 2007; Parker, 2015).
