The first video seriously approaching the mirror the stage beside a child smiling at herself in the mirror. I'm reading volume 1 and it can get a bit abstract although you are able to keep up if given time and focus. Very helpful anyway.
Hi Professor Hook!!! I love your content! I know Lacan is generally against “strengthening the Ego.” But is he against imaginary identification as such? From a clinical perspective do lacanians as a rule look to weaken ego-identifications? I figure that only the most severe bouts of psychosis are totally without them. Also, I think I know the answer to this, but are there “good” identifications, or at least “better” ways of identifying?
I'm finding all these videos very helpul, even in the rare cases where I had a bit of an idea of the concepts already. On the topics raised here, I don't know if this book is well-regarded or not, but I found Philippe Julien's book very useful.
Thank you for your kind comments. I engaged with that book quite some time ago, but I remember it also being useful and recommended by several clinical colleagues.
Great videos as always Prof. Hook. Just some comment, would it be possible for you to re arrange you lectures playlists? They start with the last video and go in reverse order. Might be ummm annoying for new subscribers. Now I am wondering if it is intentional lol
Yes, totally. That conviction that we all have at times that "I know how you fee" makes Lacan's point because by definition not having lived the others life we can never quite know exactly how they feel.
Thank you so much Derek. You are a joy to learn from.
the last argument is actually really good

@@derekhookonlacan Oh, thanks. Speaking of books, looking forward to "Reading Lacan's Écrits Vol. 1"!
This is Great !
Really good. Very much enjoyed. Thank you
Misrecognition also reminded me of pop music. The way teenagers can say "This song is about my life!"
How does the proto ego decide what images to accept or decline as itself

I've tried to rearrange the video's but the RUclips order doesn't always seem to be up to me.
is it plausible to think that this " I know how you feel" moment is somehow making Lacan's whole point?
Yes, totally. That conviction that we all have at times that "I know how you fee" makes Lacan's point because by definition not having lived the others life we can never quite know exactly how they feel.
