Introduction is an
invaluable guide to 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,
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.
