What Guides the Voice of This Clinic

At the Other clinic, the written word is not decoration—it is a continuation of our clinical stance. Every line on this site is shaped by a psychoanalytic orientation, specifically one informed by Lacanian thought.

We do not offer prescribed advice, tips, or predefined solutions. We aim to preserve something of the complexity of psychic life—and to write in a way that opens rather than closes.

This is a clinic that holds to Lacan’s ethics of desire, not the promise of adaptation to the norm. We are interested in the singularity of each subject, not in norms or averages. Our writing, like our clinical work, aims to reflect that.

We open a space for subjectivity, where each person may begin to follow the thread of their own singularity.

We publish content slowly and deliberately. There is no marketing team. There is no board. Nothing here is generated to meet algorithms, content quotas, or trends. We resist clickability in favour of clarity, honesty, and a certain silence where thought might begin.

If you find something in our writing that provokes thought, irritation, or curiosity—we consider that a success.
