Lacanian Psychoanalysis
Lacanian Psychoanalysis is a theory developed by Jacques Lacan, emphasizing the importance of language and the unconscious mind. It asserts that our identity is shaped by social interactions and the symbolic meanings we derive from language. Lacan introduced concepts like the "mirror stage," where individuals form their identity by seeing themselves reflected in others, and the "Real," "Imaginary," and "Symbolic" registers, which describe different ways we experience reality. Ultimately, Lacanian psychoanalysis seeks to understand how unconscious desires and societal structures influence human behavior and personal struggles.
