Psychopaths seem to be everywhere. They are on the news and at the movies. People who lack empathy, be they ruthless entrepreneurs or crazed spree killers are frequently labeled psychopathic; the charming socialiser is just as suspect as the awkward anti-social loner.
Exploring the concept of the Lacanian object, this book delves into its implications for psychoanalysis and contemporary thought. It examines how this object influences desire, subjectivity, and the dynamics of human relationships. By integrating theoretical insights with practical applications, the author challenges traditional interpretations and offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of human experience, making it a significant contribution to both psychoanalytic theory and cultural studies.
