The anguish before the desire of the other, says Lacan, the only subjective translation of object A, that lack that, as a cause of desire, is all speaking to be. This formulation involves a new perspective regarding the presence of the subject in the clinic.
To define it, we can guide ourselves by that conductive thread, that compass, often ignored, which is the Lacanian theory inhibition, symptoms and anguish. This compass allows the operability in the analytical experience of object A and the S1 in the dimension that opens between the cause of desire and the redoubt of the S1 in the blurrome knot of four.
These are the central axes of the texts included in this book, which revolve around the comment of seminars X, XXII and XXIII, and the article of the writings "about psychic causality."
