Written by a clinician for clinicians, Fink's
Introduction is an invaluable guide to what really goes on in
Lacanian psychoanalysis, how it's done, and how it differs from
other forms of therapy. While elucidating many of Lacan's
theoretical notions, the book does so from the perspective of
the practitioner faced with the pressing questions of diagnosis,
what therapeutic stance to adopt, how to involve the patient,
and how to bring about change. Fink provides a comprehensive
overview of Lacanian analysis, from the first meeting to the
termination of therapy, explaining the analyst's aims and
interventions at each point in the treatment. He uses four case
studies to elucidate Lacan's unique structural approach to
diagnosis. These cases, taking up both theoretical and clinical
issues in Lacan's views of psychosis, perversion, and neurosis,
highlight the very different approaches to treatment that
different situations demand. This book does for Lacanian
analysis what Freud's Papers on Technique did for Freudian
analysis, and as such should prove indispensable to
practitioners and potential patients, the initiated and the
uninitiated alike...
