From Epistemological to Psychic Frontiers
Robert, Philippe
From Epistemological to Psychic Frontiers - 2014.

Globalization does not only concern the political and economic fields. Cultural and epistemological frontiers are breached, indeed even erased, where they should be permeable but firm. There is then the risk of basic identity points of reference being diluted. Faced with these changes in society, the psychoanalyst can either be caught up in the “spirit of the times,” or alternatively fall into a form of rigid reactional dogmatism. They are part of a filiation and group belonging, and may experience conflicts of loyalty – towards peers and fathers – which they will have difficulty escaping. It is important not to lose sight of the subversive dimension of psychoanalysis as regards its interest in meaning ( sens) rather than signification, in interpretation rather than decoding. These changes, anthropological mutations even, do not invalidate the necessary invariance of the analyst’s internal setting.
