*Clinique psychanalytique* presents psychoanalysis as a clinical discipline, grounding theory in the work of diagnosis and therapeutic encounter. Drawing on René Laforgue’s psychoanalytic orientation, the book examines how psychic symptoms are understood within analytic practice and how clinical attention can clarify the structure and movement of a patient’s experience. Its concerns include the analyst’s listening and the interpretation of symptoms within the relationship between theory and case work. The volume is useful for readers approaching psychoanalysis from the perspectives of clinical psychology and French psychoanalytic thought, with relevance to psychiatric history. It offers a concise engagement with analytic care and the clinical questions that arise when theory is brought to bear on individual cases.
