It is in the spirit of viewing autotheory as an unsettled genre that dramatizes the mind’s own unsettlement, that I want to experiment with the implications for clinical writing. In this paper, I include a clinical case that I wrote in two channels – one is a straightforward clinical style, while the other is a series of more personal reflections. I italicized the personal voice in order to experiment with rhythms and tones that would have been lost if the piece had to cohere in a stylistically continuous way. After my experiment with clinical writing, I will offer some thoughts on Lyndon’s own contributions to this emerging genre.
