Thinking as a partner

“The psychoanalytic technique complies with the rule of ‘not’ omission and ‘not systematization’, which lifts the co-incidence in the disorder of both pathology and society, or Culture.

The vocational forming of an analyst is the fact that someone offers himself, or herself, as a candidate to a vocational form, that is to access a form and a rule, not to make a ‘training’.[1]

To benefit from one’s calling[2]/10. 

Omission, and systematization of the omission : that is to inabilitate logic, or principle of no contradiction, which the conscience puts in place without any other defence from loving Theories, although to the detriment of individual competence. 

An analyst has competence on how conscience inabilitates logic.

After crossing the Apennine fences which, from Passo Penice get down along Tidone torrent, affluent of Po river, up to the artificial lake Trebecco, suddenly appears the grandiose Molato Dam being opened in 1921 on a forward-looking project but, since lasting a reduced inflow of waters – as mainly withdrawn for local agriculture which only the dam call for contribution – makes it today suffer to the limit of a ‘minimum vital outflow’ not even updated, charging not only agriculture and livestock, fishes and game adjusted since a century by now, but also any even minimum contribution to the energy (hydroelectric here) fed into the grid.

Obstacle to any de-fence is inhibition[2], which can only be secondary, as it is any thought of having no thoughts, no axe to one’s own grind : as a matter of fact the initial thought (i.e. the unconscious) is an inexhaustible source which cannot stop his/her own science, and even less the right to practice it.

[2] “The primary certainty of Freud… is that there isn’t any human animal…: ‘rational animal’, ‘political animal’, ‘gratious and kind animal’, natural law, istinct, attraction, up to the mystical ‘fascination’… Freud founded the human as ‘a’ human, just recognizing-giving back him/her a law of motion of his/her own body, an only human law, artificial not natural which is named in Freud vocabulary ’drive’, an assembling of four articles : it is the law of satisfaction, provided that the law is satisfied, both intellectually and physically. I’ve proposed to perfect the law by a revolution, that is substituting the ‘raw material including the work‘ of two partners, to the ‘object’.” Cited by : ‘Certezza della legge’ in ‘Paragrafo III - La formazione dello psicoanalista’, Giacomo B.

“There is no trust, reliability, if there’s no profit for the other one.

…

Therefore three are my conclusive chapters : Law, Science, Trust.”[1]

Dissimilarly from fishing, which in given conditions can be carried out as self-governed, any analytical work stands on the competence of three different, and distanced, subjects : analyst analysand supervisor, where the leading competence is up to the analysand as an authoritative subject also in calling for the specific status of a temporary impasse which makes him, or her, asking for support in favour of a better defence.

[3] “Freudian man is transcendent with respect to nature – brain included – and without all those ‘things’ on transcendence. There is a sin (another word of mine) Freud singled out, which is an omission sin, also said ‘drive renunciation’, or better ‘renunciation to the drive’ (‘Triebverzicht’) : it is an omission in compliance of the law articles ‘drive’, an omission where dissatisfaction and anguish are linked. To the omission (named ‘removal’ in the neurosis…) follows systematization-censorship : it consists in suturing, intellectually and practically, the two borders of the wound or gap produced by the omission, so that the omission itself doesn’t appear… The ‘Triebverzicht’ is singled out by Freud in our Culture, so as in any production of individual pathology, as a consequence – not a ‘natural’ effect – of a trauma, which I always say consisting in a pathogenic Theory. Freud wishes the fall of omission-systematization as a condition for an Order, instead of a contradictory and conflictual System, also imperative up to fierce and obscene.” Cited by : ‘La formazione dello psicoanalista’, Giacomo B.
