"Yehuda Israely’s book highlights the links between Freud’s theory and Lacan’s renewal of psychoanalysis based on Lévi-Strauss’s theoretical elaborations. It reveals how Freud, throughout his conceptions, draws upon classical myths to illuminate his own invention: the unconscious. The book traces the influence structural anthropology had on Lacan’s theoretical conception, forging the notion of structure to account for the constitution of a subject, and how is this translated into what Lacan refers to as clinical structures? The author successfully demonstrates the place that Freud and Lacan gave to myths. a conception of psychoanalysis whose central tenet could be defined as: in relation with myths, we can do without them provided we make use of them."
-Dr. Luis Izcovich, psychiatrist and psychoanalyst; founding member, EPFCL and author of The Marks of a Psychoanalysis (2017) and The Clinical Case in Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective (2026); Paris, France.
