Marxism and Psychoanalysis is both a detailed consideration of the relationship between the ideas of Freud and Marx, and a development of how those ideas can be critically applied to the ideology of psychology.
This book shows that Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytical terminology can neither be translated nor assimilated to the terms of psychology. It bridges the gap between discourse analytical debates in social psychology and the social-theoretical extensions of discourse theory.
Lacan’s Marx presents the most comprehensive study to date of Jacques Lacan’s original engagement with Karl Marx.
