A Theoretical-Clinical Reading of an Analysis: The Clinical Fact as a Methodological Operator

Abstract

This article comes from academic research that aimed to study the psychoanalytic clinic and its effects by presenting fragments of an analysis that has already ended. To achieve this goal, we used the methodological tool of the clinical fact, articulating the clinical material with some points of psychoanalytic theory. As a result, we point out that it is possible to make a theoretical-clinical reading of an analysis experience from the perspective of discursive movements, in particular, the subject of the unconscious ($) and of the object a, as presented in the proposition of Lacan’s Four Discourses. We believe that this study emphasizes the importance of the specificity of research in psychoanalysis in its clinical dimension and the possible effects produced by this therapeutic process. In this way, we understand that the dissemination of this work can contribute to the discussion of clinical practice among colleagues in the psychoanalytic and academic fields, as well as to the difficult task of presenting clinical material with the necessary theoretical support, to strengthen the always fundamental transmission of psychoanalysis.
