Darian Leader and Judy Groves

Jacques Lacan is now taking his place as a major psychoanalytical theorist alongside Freud, Jung and Klein. Darian Leader, a practising psychoanalyst and senior lecturer in psychoanalytic studies at England's Leeds University, clarifies the central ideas of Lacanian theory. He guides the reader through Lacan's early studies of paranoia, and on to his analytical innovations - including the incorporation of structural linguistics into Freudianism. For anyone intrigued by Lacan's ideas but discouraged by the apparent arcane quality of his writings, here is the ideal introduction.

[by] Richard M. Titmuss

While presenting a comparative study of blood donating in the United States and Britain, The Gift Relationship also raises profound economic, political, and philosophical questions. Titmuss contrasts the British system of reliance on voluntary donors to the American one in which the blood supply is largely in the hands of for-profit enterprises and shows how a nonmarket system based on altruism is more effective than one that treats human blood as another commodity. First released in 1970, The Gift Relationship is even more topical now in an age of AIDS and changing health care policy.
