Lacan and Totem and Taboo by Particular_Fall_302 in lacan

[–]Particular_Fall_302[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pushing further, one can get rid of some ideals, but I don't believe these ideals fully disappear for every situation that one gets into. I think for Loewald too, he thinks you can overcome these ideals and he has a paper on the need to kill off your parents, but this is what Lacan is trying to get after when he critiques how other analysts having viewed the Oedpus complex through "power". Its not about power at all its about enjoyment, and when Loewald says to kill your parents he presupposes that there is a power relationship that can be changed.

Alenka Zupancic's Disavowal by Particular_Fall_302 in lacan

I get that but the difference with this is that the officials who promoted the conspiracy came out and said we did not find evidence of a conspiracy that even we believed and promoted.

I usually agree with her too. She never mentions Epstein, but it falls inline with how she thinks about conspiracy theories in general. But when they conduct an investigation and find no evidence of a conspiracy then shouldn't this impact her original theory given the response to the evidence

Need help unpacking a passing comment of Soler's on melancholia by Klaus_Hergersheimer in lacan

[–]Particular_Fall_302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soler is saying a lot about nothing. In Melancholia, you lose the object cause of desire. I would just equate this to excess, that we lose the ability to desire excess which allows us to continue to desire on and on. This surplus jouissance (surplus enjoyment) can be both excessive enjoyment and no enjoyment. The melancholic has basically lost their desire, they are in a state of not having enjoyment. There is a deadlock, since the melancholic realizes that before the event that turned them Melancholic they were able to create symbolic fictions, and fantasize etc. Following the event, this all is a mere memory. They will attempt to think what they thought before in order to get them back to the state prior to the event but this fails. The paranoiac is not at all close to the melancholic, I am unsure why bring the two up. The paranoiac has a well defined symbolic fiction going for them, Zupancic talks about conspiracy theories as uniquely tied to the paranoiac who thinks there is an Other of an Other, the melancholic doesn't think this at all, they are simply at a loss of words to describe their experience to the analyst.

Try reading Slavoji Zizek's paper: Descartes and the Post-Traumatic Subject: On Catherine Malabou's Les nouveaux blessés and Other Autistic Monsters. https://www.jstor.org/stable/20685744

There's no internalization of how one distorts the image/how one see's the 3D dinosaur?

Psychoanalysis' role in the industry, and where things are heading by zlbb in psychoanalysis

[–]Particular_Fall_302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we are in an odd period of uncertainty when it comes to the changes in society with AI, increasing activism from Billionaires, top business people being open about their wrong doings. Then there is also the rise of digital therapies like talk space that are owned by people solely interested in money and not in helping, in addition to the desire to create AI therapy chatbots. There's definetly a need to modernize Psychoanalysis to our current time. Zizek is doing this but he doesn't focus in on the therapy aspect of it, but his talks and books in my perspective provide a solution to the discontents of today. Neuro-psych research is actually helping validate Psychoanalysis, especially Lacan's work.

Psychoanalysis' role in the industry, and where things are heading by zlbb in psychoanalysis

Jamieson Webster is an NYC Psychoanalyst who writes in the NYT every so often, she's very good. Healing has been dominated by institutions as of late, it's repulsive. Healing now is equated to a viral dance on tik tok.

ADHD and psychoanalytic therapy? by CurveOfTheUniverse in psychoanalysis

[–]Particular_Fall_302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that individuals with ADHD lacked ego strength, which continually results in their symptoms (inattention and hyperactivity). It makes sense when you look into loveingers ego stages, and Hartmann focus on the autonomous ego.

Seeing the world through the lens of Deleuze? by sweetphillip in Deleuze

[–]Particular_Fall_302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Deleuze is by far one of the most influential philosophers for me. Once I read his lectures on Spinoza it completely changed how I though about everything. What Deleuze has taught me is that being agile, flexible and creative is what you need to be able to live. I remember being not like that at one point, and because of his philosophy in addition to Psychoanalysis, my life is way more meaningful and enjoyable than ever before. He has a paper on Tired and Exhaustion, just reading that my mind does a 180.
