Against Understanding, Volume 1: Commentary and Critique in a Lacanian Key · Bruce Fink
**Would you agree that many of Freud's ideas have in¿ ltrated everyday consciousness to such an extent that they have become touchstones for our larger society, apart from their constructive role in a clinical setting?**
Theoretical move: The vulgarization of Freud's concepts (especially wish-fulfillment and the unconscious) through empirical psychology drains them of theoretical content, while Lacan's deliberate difficulty functions as a defense against the same reductive assimilation.
I believe he did so deliberately, at least in part.
