Using Jacques Lacan's work as a key, Boothby reassesses Freud's most ambitious-and misunderstood-attempt at a general theory of mental functioning: metapsychology
Sigmund Freud once described the application of psychoanalysis to pedagogy as “the most important of all the activities of analysis.” In this exciting book, Cho takes up this activity. Examining the work of Jacques Lacan and Freud, he argues that a theory of pedagogy is already embedded within psychoanalysis. Psychopedagogy is the name given to this embedded theory. Through a discussion of key psychoanalytic concepts, such as, the unconscious, resistance, the ego, and transference, as well as a variety of other topics, Cho develops the contours of psychopedagogy.

The Lacan segment will appear in Zoo Ontologies: The Question of the Animal in Contemporary Theory and Culture, ed. Cary Wolfe (Min neapolis, 2002).
