About Jacques Lacan
Jacques Marie Émile Lacan (13 April 1901 – 9 September 1981) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. After decades of obscurity Lacan came to prominence in the French intellectual scene of the 1960s and '70s with an unorthodox fusion of Freudian psychoanalysis and structural linguistics. Lacan's ideas are little used in psychotherapy in the English-speaking world, but are influential in academic analysis of literature, film and culture.

Additional quotes by Jacques Lacan
The important thing is not that the unconscious determines neurosis- of that one Freud can quite happily, like Pontius Pilot, wash his hands. Sooner or later, something would have been found, humeral determinate, for example- for Freud, it would be quite immaterial. For what the unconscious does it to show us the gap through which neurosis recreates a harmony with a real- a real that may not be determined.
It is not without effect that, even in a public speech, one directs one's attention at subjects, touching them at what Freud calls the navel- the navel of the dreams, he writes , to designate their ultimately unknown centre- which is simply, like the anatomical navel that represents it, that gap of which I have already spoken.
