A quick read that leaves Lacan still a mystery to me.

Excelent book. Thank you Darian Leader. Obrigado Vera Ribeiro pela tradução perfeita.

This was a helpful guide to considering how Western medicine has bifurcated the individual's experience of disease and illness from their understanding and experience of life. While it could've used a bit more focus, I appreciated the way so many common assumptions about the Western medical model were interrogated and the author's self-awareness to be open to the complexity of each person. What a task it is to care well for each other!

This is an engaging text that helped me understand Lacanian theory, or at least gave me more words for it, but more importantly gives helpful context for Lacan's work. I didn't laugh but I could have, once, but I decided not to.
