In parts 1 and 2 of this Lacanian neuropsychoanalytic series, surplus prediction error was presented as a neural correlate of the Lacanian concept of jouissance. Affective consciousness (a key source of prediction error in the brain) impels the work of cognition, the predictive work of explaining what is foreign and surprising. Yet this arousal is the necessary bedrock of all consciousness. Although the brain’s predictive model strives for homeostatic explanation of prediction error, jouissance “drives a hole” in the work of homeostasis. Some residual prediction error always remains. Lacanian clinical technique attends to this surplus and the failed predictions to which this jouissance “sticks.” Rather than striving to eliminate prediction error, clinical practice seeks its metabolization. Analysis targets one’s mode of jouissance to create a space for the subject to enjoy in some other way. This entails working with prediction error, not removing or tolerating it. Analysis aims to shake the very core of the subject by provoking prediction error—this drives clinical change. Brief clinical examples illustrate this view.

在这个拉康神经精神分析系列的第 1 部分和第 2 部分中，剩余预测误差被呈现为拉康的享乐概念的神经关联。情感意识（大脑中预测错误的一个关键来源）推动着认知工作，即解释外来和令人惊讶的事物的预测工作。然而，这种觉醒是所有意识的必要基石。尽管大脑的预测模型力求对预测误差进行稳态解释，但享乐却在稳态工作中“开出了一个洞”。一些残余预测误差总是存在。拉康的临床技术关注这种过剩以及这种享乐所针对的失败的预测“棍子。” 临床实践不是努力消除预测误差，而是寻求其代谢。分析目标之一的方式享乐创造一个空间为主题，以其他方式享受。这需要工作与预测误差，不能删除或容忍它。分析旨在通过引发预测错误来动摇主题的核心——这会推动临床变化。简要的临床实例说明了这一观点。
