"Despite the extraordinary range and reach of his work, anxiety is really Lacan's subject. In this book - which is among the most remarkable psychoanalytic and philosophical works of our time - Lacan shows us how much more there may be to say about this fundamental experience that paralyses speech and so immobilises people's lives." —Adam Phillips, psychoanalyst and writer
