In this definitive explication, Roberto Harari skillfully explores Lacan's Seminar on “Anxiety,” one of the least examined aspects of his work, and one that has far-reaching clinical and theoretical reverberations. In Lacanian terms, anxiety is not a symbolic phenomenon, but is situated at the border of the imaginary and the real: no longer reduced to concept of ego, the very question of the birth of the subject is raised by the phenomenon of anxiety. This is the step that Harari's account will elucidate. The Seminar on “Anxiety” (Seminar X) situates Lacan's expansion upon Freud's concepts about anxiety with rigor, precision, and a wealth of clinical underpinnings. As Harari states, it is a key to Lacan's teaching in terms of the ways that it has had an impact on analytical treatment. -- from the publisher Roberto Harari, Ph.D., has been a psychoanalyst in Buenos Aires since 1965.
