Readings in Cognitive Psychology Book

Interesting, though difficult, analysis of the links between Frued and Lacan and how Lacan developed Freud's thought. There are some interesting lines of thought. A challenge to Chomsky's language theories which I didn't find wholly convincing. The concept of the "Death Drive" which Frued mentions but does not adequately develop is followed up here.
There is an excellent anlysis of the impasse between wanting and being leading to an examination of how pornography uses words that depersonalize, but body parts are personalized.
On the whole a difficult but rewarding read.
