“This book finally sets the record straight. Psychoanalysis is not about gender, nor is it about sex. It is not even about the signifier. It is about the impossibility of bridging the gap between the body and the drive. Verhaeghe, with his usual methodical, pedagogical, and refreshingly calm approach, uncovers for us the truths of Freud’s discoveries and the unexpected clarity of Lacan’s theoretical formulation.” —Judith Feher-Gurewich, Director of Lacan Seminar, Harvard University
