"Roudinesco provides a finely drawn map of the intellectual debates within French psychoanalysis, especially under the influence of the German emigrés during the 1930s and 1940s. She is a good historian, in that she provides not only a narrative history but also extensive passages from Lacan's own oral-history interviews with the various figures, so that we have not only her commentary but some flavor of the original documentation. Many of the quotes are gems."?Sander I. Gilman, Bulletin of the History of Medicine [Jacques Lacan and Co. A History of Psychoanalysis in France, 1925-1985.]
