A lucid and elegant Lacanian reading of the related issues of anxiety in contemporay culture, covering the neurotic, psychotic, and perversive cases on topics of wide range. It doesn't offer long, detailed exposition on Lacan or Freud's theories themselves. However, the Lacanian lens casts quite insightful, thought-provoking comments on up-to-date social, cultural, clinical, legal issues.

An intellectual delight for those who are well-versed in Lacan or psychoanalysis. The reading experience is like listening to the talk of an old friend on her new refelctions
