Description

Against Understanding, Volume 2: Cases and Commentary in a Lacanian Key offers a deep look into the role of case studies within psychoanalysis. Published by Routledge, this volume addresses how clinical material is often presented to demonstrate practitioner expertise rather than reflecting the true path of the patient. In many clinical settings, the complex and contradictory nature of a therapeutic journey is simplified into a linear story that fits a specific theoretical framework. Bruce Fink challenges this trend by attempting to move away from the appearance of mastery when assembling clinical material. This book provides a different perspective on how to discuss therapeutic trajectories without oversimplifying the patient's actual experience. For students and professionals in clinical psychology and psychoanalysis, this text serves as a critical examination of how clinical narratives are constructed. It provides a necessary alternative to the standard method of presenting cases as polished, predictable successes, instead focusing on the reality of the clinical process.

Key Features

Provides a Lacanian perspective on clinical material and the presentation of patient itineraries.
