Against Understanding, Volume 2: Cases and Commentary in a Lacanian Key · Bruce Fink · p.175

Theoretical move: Fink argues that the quality and accountability of psychoanalytic translation has direct clinical consequences, and that Lacanian psychoanalysis—by preserving the unconscious as "another scene"—offers a genuine counterweight to the biologism and adaptation-oriented therapies that dominate contemporary American mental health practice.
Lacanian psychoanalysis can be a serious counterweight to the biologism endemic to the majority of contemporary approaches to mental health problems.
