Against Understanding, Volume 2, casts a spotlight on the status of
case studies in psychoanalysis, which are commonly used to
illustrate clinicians' expertise and mastery rather than patients'
actual itineraries. When a case is presented, the complex,
unwieldy, and often self-contradictory material of a therapeutic
trajectory is often vastly oversimplified in view of producing a
linear narrative that seems perfectly to fit the parameters of a
practitioner's preferred theoretical framework. Bruce Fink attempts
to eschew the appearance of "mastery" in assembling clinical
material and in discussing his approach to practice and theory in
the myriad case histories and vignettes included in both Volumes 1
& 2 of Against Understanding. To counterbalance the kind of
paring down of material usually carried out to make cases conform
to a particular paradigm, the case write-ups presented here include
much of the "raw data" so often omitted: verbatim quotes from
patients about their lives, backgrounds, dreams, and fantasies; and
details about the many obscure, vacillating, and unruly phases of
treatment. Fink hopes thereby to allow readers to form their own
opinions about the well-foundedness or unsoundness of his
formulations, interpretations, and interventions. This second part
of a two-volume collection of papers, interviews, and case studies
provides the reader with hundreds of illustrations of Lacanian
theory in practice, and will be essential for psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and
counselors.
