Back Jacket

Just what is the subject in Freud? The author draws on a wide range of French critical thought to argue that the subject is always fundamentally identification, in an even more radical sense than has previously been postulated. Rigorously examining the texts of Freud, he arrives at compelling rereadings of familiar concepts, concluding with a disturbing new analysis of the social bond.
