What does it mean to practice psychoanalysis as Jacques Lacan did?
How did Lacan translate his original theoretical insights into
moment-to-moment psychoanalytic technique? And what makes a
Lacanian approach to treatment different from other approaches?
These are among the questions that Bruce Fink, a leading translator
and expositor of Lacan's work, addresses in Fundamentals of
Psychoanalytic Technique by describing and amply exemplifying the
innovative techniques (such as punctuation, scansion, and oracular
interpretation) developed by Lacan to uncover unconscious desire,
lift repression, and bring about change. Unlike any other writer on
Lacan to date, Fink illustrates his Lacanian approach to listening,
questioning, punctuating, scanding, and interpreting with dozens of
actual clinical examples. He clearly outlines the fundamentals of
working with dreams, daydreams, and fantasies, discussing numerous
anxiety dreams, nightmares, and fantasies told to him by his own
patients. By examining transference and countertransference in
detail through the use of clinical vignettes, Fink lays out the
major differences (regarding transference interpretation,
self-disclosure, projective identification, and the therapeutic
frame) between mainstream psychoanalytic practice and Lacanian
practice. He critiques the ever more prevalent normalizing attitude
in psychoanalysis today and presents crucial facets of Lacan's
approach to the treatment of neurosis, as well as of his entirely
different approach to the treatment of psychosis. Fundamentals of
Psychoanalytic Technique is an introduction to psychoanalytic
technique from a Lacanian perspective that is based on Fink's many
years of experience working as an analyst and supervising
clinicians, including graduate students in clinical psychology,
social workers, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and
psychoanalysts. Designed for a wide range of practitioners and
requiring no previous knowledge of Lacan's work, this primer is
accessible to therapists of many different persuasions with diverse
degrees of clinical experience, from novices to seasoned analysts.
Fink's goal throughout is to present the implications of Lacan's
highly novel work for psychoanalytic technique across a broad
spectrum of interventions. The techniques covered (all of which are
designed to get at the unconscious, repression, and repetition
compulsion) can be helpful to a wide variety of practitioners,
often transforming their practices radically in a few short months.
