<span id="page-36-0"></span>[WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT](#page-7-0) LACAN'S APPROACH TO PSYCHOANALYSIS? > **Subjectivity Is Essentially Untotalizable**
Theoretical move: Fink argues that Lacan's mature position on "personality" is that it is an essentially polemical, anti-totalizing concept: the illusion of a unified personality is displaced by the recognition that subjectivity is constitutively split, with objet petit a functioning as the structural cause of that division rather than a unifying center.
Subjectivity Is Essentially Untotalizable… some totalizing view of subjectivity, and thereby overlooking our split subjectivity.
