Against Understanding, Volume 1: Commentary and Critique in a Lacanian Key · Bruce Fink · p.23
[Why Understanding Should Not Be Viewed as an](#page-7-0) Essential Aim of Psychoanalytic Treatment
Theoretical move: Fink argues that the primary aim of Lacanian psychoanalysis is not understanding or ego-observation but radical transformation achieved by bringing repressed material to speech before another person, demonstrated through a clinical vignette in which a fantasy dissolves after childhood material is articulated for the first time.
Bringing things to speech with another person is what is essential. As Lacan (2001b, pp. 139–40) put it, 'What is at stake is not, in fact, a move to consciousness but, rather, to speech... and that speech must be heard by someone.'
