The only thing of which one can be guilty is of having given ground relative to one´s desire´ Jacques Lacan.
Is psychoanalysis dead or are we to read frequent attacks on its theoretical ´mistakes´ and clinical ´frauds´ as a proof of its vitality? Slavoj Zizek´s passionate defence of Lacan reasserts the ethical urgency of psychoanalysis. Traditionally, psychoanalysis was expected to allow the patient to overcome the obstacles which prevented access to ´normal´ sexual enjoyment. Today, however, we are bombarded from all sides by different versions of the injunction ´Enjoy!´ Lacan reminds us that psychoanalysis is the only discourse in which you are allowed not to enjoy. Since for Lacan psychoanalysis itself is a procedure of reading, each chapter uses a passage from Lacan as a tool to interpret another text from philosophy, art or popular ideology, applying his ideas to Hegel and Hitchcock, Shakespeare and Dostoevsky.
