Book Recommendations:

Here is my list of book recommendations for psychoanalysis; I’ve organized them into categories, and ranked them in order that I believe the material is best consumed based on my own experience with them.

I should note: Psychoanalysis has a historical precedent of being very blunt and using sometimes erotic analogies. Par for the course with this territory. Often when analysts use foul language or erotic parallels it is intentional and tries to make a point clear by pointing out the ways society feels about certain terms and concepts.

First and foremost, to understand Lacan and his theories, a basis in clinical psychoanalysis is a good start, so I recommend firstly two things. Foremost, I recommend you watch my lecture I gave on Freud, Jung, and Lacan, as that will provide a general framework of the theory and reasoning behind the ideologies:

Then begin with this Bruce Fink book on Freud:

1) A Clinical Introduction to Freudian Psychoanalysis by Bruce Fink.

Then the following, in order:

(Optionally, if you so choose, you can read the book “How to Read Lacan” by Slavoj Zizek before continuing down this list, but it’s not very theoretical and not clinically applicable and rather approaches Lacan from a more sociological perspective. I forewarn that Zizek is Slovenian and so he writes with an interesting tone, but that he also uses foul language on occasion to exaggerate points.).

2) A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis by Bruce Fink.

3) Key Concepts of Lacanian Psychoanalysis by Dany Nobus.

4) The Lacanian Subject by Bruce Fink.

5) Lacan on Psychosis: from theory to Praxis by David L. Dowing.

6) Perversion: A Lacanian Psychoanalytic approach to the Subject by Stephanie S. Swales.
