Great discussion of an important topic folks, thank you. I really appreciate Stijn’s thought here that serve to situate differential diagnosis in psychoanalysis within or in relation to the broader history of psychiatric diagnosis.
1:04:54 *A [mine]field of prejudice* “[C]linicians also should take into account that very point-if we make generalizations like: psychotics are like this, and neurotics are like that, and people with addiction are still a little bit different. So maybe we are entering then a field of a certain kind of identity politics from which we want to stay away, because we know from our clinical practices that this is exactly what people are suffering from. That they are suffering from the things that have been said about them-‘you’re a man and therefore you’re the following…’, ‘you’re a black person and therefore you’re as such…’ and then people [suffer] from those claims that have been made about them. And so if we as clinicians would add additional claims with our very specific jargon, then I think it’s dangerous and therefore we should be very wary of discussing work with an individual in those terms.”
Interestingly, as you’ve said here, we suffer from identity-yet we also suffer from lack of identity. Patients come into the clinic demanding diagnoses, seeking ever new identities. Zizek’s words seem to echo here, that-“we want to suffer.”
