Against Understanding, Volume 1: Commentary and Critique in a Lacanian Key · Bruce Fink · p.88
*Therapeutic Criteria*
Theoretical move: Lacan diagnoses the failure of post-Freudian analysts to ground their therapeutic criteria in theory, attributing it to irreconcilable theoretical divergences that produce mere syncretism, and further charges psychoanalysis with a double méconnaissance: misrecognition by other disciplines and self-misrecognition of its own historical movement and intersubjective foundation.
Different theorists try to reconcile opposing positions [...] but it leads, he claims, to pointless syncretisms—that is, mishmashes of viewpoints.
