A warning is usually handed out by the Lacanentusiasten. Interest in Lacan's theories can expect great insights a payback. But one must be prepared to devote a lot of time. However, it is not certain that time helps, too much at Lacan is vague, blur, strange and contradictory. His linguistic insight is usually formulated as "the unconscious is structured as a language". That's exactly how Lacan expressed himself once at a lecture in Baltimore. There he claimed that the best image of the unconscious was the view from his hotel window over Baltimore in early morning light.
