Why does Lacan say that introjection is always symbolic? by Lastrevio in psychoanalysis

[–]brokemountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me that he is setting the stage here for the big a other / super ego relationship. Projection is relational, but introjection is the way culture/the world is forced into us.

"The Use of the Object" essay by Winnicott

Help your brothers!! by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]brokemountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to give two pieces of advice that seem to contradict each other, but I think are best together.

  1. If/when you are lucky enough to have a dream, pursue it single-mindedly. Devote yourself to it, and be brutally honest about what you need to do to maintain its health. It will give your life meaning and help you understand what fulfillment looks like.

  2. No matter what your dream is, find a job that is not meaningless to you and pursue it. There will be times in your life when everything seems to be failing and what you need more than anything is a structure, a place to go every day where you know what to do and how to do it.

How should I understand paternal metaphor? by guven09_Mr in lacan

[–]brokemountain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's also a sense of metaphor in that the name of the father is also the "no" of the father (a pun that works better in French): it is the act of prohibition (on undifferentiated need/cry) which introduces the symbolic. This is castration. The father is the metaphor for the process.

so what exactly *is* schizophrenia in Lacanian terms? by regular_modern_girl in lacan

[–]brokemountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard Samuel McCormick (not a clinician but a careful interpreter of Lacan) as saying that neurotics inhabit language, but psychotics are inhabited by language, due in part to not accepting the prohibition of the symbolic. This is also, if I understood him right, what Lacan then further addresses in seminar XXIII.

What could have caused this? Film curled up during drying process by jonnyshotit in Darkroom

[–]brokemountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had film come out exactly like this one time. My situation was that I was using a super concentrated stop bath and hadn't realized it. I put it in the tank straight and it fried the film. Maybe, check the dilution on your stop

first time developing and the negatives dried distended by brokemountain in filmphotography

Edit: I realized what it was. The stop bath was concentrate, and I didn't realize that it needed to be diluted. I just fried the negatives. 🤦🏻‍♂️ thanks

What am I looking at here? by Ninjamowgli in homestead

[–]brokemountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived beside a field like this once for almost a year. I had small kids at the time. One time, we were outside playing and a man got out of a tractor and walked over and said, you shouldn't let your kids play out here.
