The present paper examines the clinical integration of theory and experience from the perspective of clinicians’ subjective
shaping of inquiry. The author suggests that the historical, conceptual development of clinical psychoanalysis parallels the
progressive articulations of consensual understanding within the clinical hour. He suggests that the clinician’s utilization of
vernacular elements, derivative of direct experience as well as of reference to the wider range of psychoanalytic thinking,
addresses gaps and disconnections within the abstract understanding of the clinical psychoanalytic process. Providing
examples from psychoanalytic history, he concludes with a contemporary example of psychoanalytic papers, reflecting
vernacular elements that are of use to practicing clinicians.
