About Bruce Fink
Bruce Fink, PhD, is a practicing Lacanian psychoanalyst and analytic supervisor who trained in France with the psychoanalytic institute Jacques Lacan created shortly before his death, the Ecole de la Cause freudienne in Paris. He has translated several of Lacan's works into English-including Ecrits: The First Complete Edition in English, Seminar XX: Encore, and Seminar VIII, Transference-and is the author of numerous books on Lacan, including The Lacanian Subject, A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis, Lacan to the Letter, Fundamentals of Psychoanalytic Technique, Against Understanding (2 volumes), and most recently Lacan on Love. A board member of the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center, he has also penned several mysteries involving a character loosely based on Jacques Lacan: The Psychoanalytic Adventures of Inspector Canal, Death by Analysis, Odor di Murderer/Scent of a Killer, and The Purloined Love.
Reviews for A Clinical Introduction to Freud: Techniques for Everyday Practice
Until this book, there has been no rigorous introduction to Freud for clinicians in English. Bruce Fink has not only written a superb guide for those who work in the talking therapies, but he has also managed to produce a kind of psychopathology of everyday life in the consulting room. Expositions of theory are combined with examples that will resonate with every clinician's daily practice, making a truly persuasive case for the contemporary relevance of Freud. Avoiding hagiography, Fink is both a generous and a critical reader of Freud, and I would recommend this book not only to clinicians but to anyone seeking a general introduction to Freudian theory and practice.
Darian Leader, Psychoanalyst, Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research, London Bruce Fink has long been one of the world's foremost authorities on the work of Jacques Lacan. Here, in true Lacanian fashion, he establishes himself as a Freudian. In his trademark style
engaging, informative, and clear without being reductive
Fink deftly guides the reader through a number of Freud's major works. What shines through is the clinical relevance of Freud's theoretical concepts for practitioners today.
