The English translation of Laplanche’s latest work, “Freud and the Sexual” is now available
As co-translator with Nick Ray and John Fletcher and as co-publisher with Arnie Richards, I am proud that Laplanche’s ‘Freud and the Sexual’ is now available on line at ucsintranslation.com. (If there are any problems with the site, let me know.)
*Freud and the Sexual* is the translation of Laplanche*s most recent volume * *Sexual: La sexualite elargie au sens freudien* * his work from 2000 to 2006.

Clear and direct, often witty, this volume is a pleasure to read and
represents the culmination of his work. It includes his most famous recent work such as *Drive and Instinct*, *Gender, Sex and the *Sexual**, *Sexuality and Attachment*, and *Sexual Crime*. Although these important contributions are widely known not only in French but also in German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, they are virtually unknown in the Anglophone universe even among those who admire Laplanche.
