Against Understanding, Volume 1: Commentary and Critique in a Lacanian Key · Bruce Fink · p.209
**The Writing Subject**
Theoretical move: Through a detailed clinical case, Fink argues that the structural absence of the paternal function (rather than repression) produces a psychotic-adjacent subjectivity in which fraud/contradiction destabilizes the subject's entire meaning structure, and that writing may serve as an inventive supplement to the failed paternal function.
The continual fraud and deception is quite decisive here, and each new example of it threatens to push Tina over the edge.
