Reviews for The Ethics of Lacanian Psychoanalysis: A Conversation about Living in Joy

There have been very few books that I sent so many quotes from to close people (especially my spouse). For example, this one: Being a mother is the most ungrateful role. The better you do it the more redundant you become. Or this: When the father loves the children, he teaches them to love themselves. When he loves their mother, he teaches them to love, period. And there is more. This book definitely fulfills its authors' declaration from the first page: to help readers live better with themselves and their environment. Israely and Pelled highlight phenomena from daily life with the powerful floodlight of Lacanian Psychoanalysis. It's the type of book you will go back to again and again as new events unfold in your life, like a quiet dependable friend. - Itai Ziv - Yediot Aharonot Daily Paper
