Description

Against Understanding, Volume 1: Commentary and Critique in a Lacanian Key is a significant work in the field of psychoanalysis. Published by Routledge, this book was the 2014 American Board & Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize winner for Best Anthology. In this volume, Bruce Fink explores the complexities of the analytic setting. He examines how the drive to understand can actually hinder the process by reducing the unfamiliar to the familiar. This tendency can transform the radically other into the same, potentially making practitioners deaf to the actual words spoken by patients. Running counter to many common views in contemporary psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, this text provides a deep critique of the current obsession with understanding. It offers a necessary perspective for those studying the Lacanian dimension of the imaginary and seeking to improve their clinical practice by avoiding the pitfalls of premature comprehension.
