Jacques Lacan

Jacques-Marie-Émile Lacan (April 13, 1901 – September 9, 1981) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. His clinical theory is rooted in the work of Sigmund Freud, and derives from linguistic sources (Ferdinand de Saussure), philosophical sources (Kojève on Hegel), as well as mathematical sources (René Thom, Nicolas Bourbaki, and topological theory of knots).
