Professor Dominique Scarfone’s influential work introduced French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche to a wide audience, bridging the French, British and North American psychoanalytic cultures, and produced essential theoretical contributions in unconscious communication, temporality, and translation.

Dr. Lussier’s most significant theoretical contribution was The Deviations of Desire (1988), a definitive treatment of fetishism that remains an authoritative statement on the psychoanalytic theory of perversion.
