Oedipus by Juan-David Nasio

Included in Oedipus is a fascinating interview with Nasio, which was conducted by the translators for this book.

"…Nasio advances the argument that the Oedipus complex remains at the center of psychoanalysis—indeed, that without it there can be no psychoanalysis" — PsycCRITIQUES

"…Nasio has written a splendid, erudite, and concise volume on what is arguably the central concept in psychoanalysis—the Oedipus complex … A welcome addition to and clarification of the significant body of work on sexual identity, this volume will be valuable across the social sciences and humanities, and appreciated for its clarity, concision, and relevance … Highly recommended." — CHOICE
