Due to what is commonly referred to as Lacan's “notorious difficulty,” the vast majority of secondary literature produced by Lacanian scholars is aimed at providing a comprehensive introductory overview to the typically cryptic writings and oracular pronouncements of the French Freud. Commentaries on Lacan generally seek to highlight the most important theses traversing his theoretical developments, thereby furnishing a streamlined presentation that enables readers to get a sense of the fundaments underlying the Lacanian approach to psychoanalysis.
