Book summary
In "Logics of Love Life", psychoanalyst J.A. Miller offers a deep exploration of the structures that govern desire and love from the perspective of Lacanian psychoanalysis.

A fundamental work for understanding the complexity of love life beyond common clichés.

The work proposes an analysis of clinical structures and their impact on the way we love, offering keys to understanding why we love as we do.
