The Space of the Mind in Psychoanalysis - Topology and its Use in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
This video is about the space of the mind and how we think of it. From a picture that doesn't make sense, to the topological models that re-describe psychical space and which interested Lacan for 25 years. We look at how these ideas are used in clinical work in Lacanian psychoanalytic psychotherapy, illustrated with examples from psychosis and neurosis.

    For me, the mantis example doesn’t work for illustrating the “expectant anxiety.” The experience/knowledge that some males have their heads bitten off after sex by the female presupposes a collective memory passed on to and stored in other males’ brains. This is too much of an assumption, because this experience cannot be passed on to the living males as the messenges themselves are dead. On the other hand, despite wearing a visually indistinguishable male or female mask (what about communication via pheromones?) allows mantises to recognize (and accept) the other as an opposite-sex partner. The poorly understood post-sex decapitation event can thus be only a wired-in reflex (maybe instinct) of the female (now it’s my pure speculation) to prevent the male from spreading his genes among other females or to eliminate the chance of a re-encounter (for whatever reasons). Anxiety is thus a higher-order cognitive experience and an expression of either communicated (learned/memorized) traumatic event or hardwired and retractable (DNA?) information.

    Could it be that the quantities of intelligence and perhaps the entire consciousness are linked to the individually different potential to interpret these signifiers on a large scale without directly colliding with the remainders? So with something like the form of the arrangement of the “Final signifiers“ (close to the remainders), the encounters with other people's desires and the resulting distraction/deflection from the remainders - is this the necessary Space for the mind?

    Interesting, but troublingly one dimensional. I’m sure if you asked someone living in a war zone why they’re anxious, their response and the analysis of it would reveal their anxiety has little to do with uncertainty regarding how they are perceived by their opponents, for instance; in fact that may be their most certain certainty. There is an obvious display of a particular class consciousness in this theory…

    Hello, I am a psychology student from Turkey and I am trying to study Lacan's texts. My question is this: According to Lacan, the place where desire begins is when the child whose sexuality is chaotic is castrated. I know that his unsatisfied desire has begun and he is trying to fill it with objects of desire. This event itself is a tramua, my question is: Does every trauma cause the beginning of some kind of desire? Do traumas experienced in adulthood create some kind of underlying desire, or is it only experienced in childhood?

    • @ThunderSen
      @ThunderSen 4 месяца назад

      I don't think Lacan was correct in this instance. I think we have primitive feelings at birth, and they develop in relation to relational objects like parents. His claim is that sexuality is frustrated by parents, or blocked because parents cannot satisfy sexuality. I believe sexual development is independent of relational dynamics to some degree, ergo masturbation or displaced into gratification. That said its only in puberty when sexuality is starting to develop actual or real form and feelings materialize. If that is some how damaged ergo sexual abuse or mental/physical abuse, the desire is withdrawn.

  • @boundarylanguage
    @boundarylanguage 6 месяцев назад

    Owen, thanks for referencing my topology videos. Your interest in set theory complements mine in projective geometry, but following Joan Copjec I cite Desargues as Lacan's topology main theory source, as does Lacan in Seminar XIII and elsewhere. This is not rubber-sheet topology, which lends itself well to set- and graph-theory, and your viewers might want to think about self-intersection and non-orientation as the key qualities of Lacan's topologies. In other parts of this otherwise helpful web site, you cite Euler's treatment of the Königsburg Bridge Problem as the origin of Lacan's topology, but Lacan nowhere mentions this; and the Bridge problem is the basis of graph theory, not topology. I do admire your explanation of the torus and its relation to the Möbius cut. Your readers will have a lot to think about here! But, in general I would caution about blurring the distinction between "immersed" (3-d) forms, which we can visualize, and the actual 2-d topological counterparts. You can't actually see a 2-d torus (there's no where to stand outside and look at it). I always have to warn my audience that I am still learning about topology; I'm not a mathematician (more of a maths dummy) so I have to use ethnological/cultural examples, where topology takes on the forms of the uncanny to be effective. I advise viewers to go back to the sources (Seminars IX, XIII, and XIV) to realize that Lacan was a profoundly "visualizer" and that to understand him properly we have to learn how to think this way, not in terms of "pictures" but in terms of the impossible-Real spaces first theorized by Pappus, Desargues, and Pascal, later by Gauss, Plücker, Riemann, Klein, Möbius, etc. So much work to do! Thank you for your efforts and beautiful graphics and narration; you have high production values as they say in show-biz.

    • @lucassiccardi8764
      @lucassiccardi8764 5 месяцев назад

      I'm sorry Donald, but you do confuse people with your statements. As you yourself mentioned, you should get a deeper understanding of maths before tackling these subjects. It's not true that "you can't see a 2D Torus because there's nowhere to stand outside and look at it", that's like saying it's impossible to see a square because there's nowhere to stand outside and look at it. Either you express yourself badly or you have a wrong understanding of the dimensionality of surfaces. For a start, you should differentiate between the dimensionality of the object you're describing and the dimensionality of the space it lives in. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is a one-dimensional object living in a two-dimensional space. The Torus surface is a 2D object living in a 3D space. Immersions and embeddings have nothing to do with this. Immersions and embeddings come into play when you REPRESENT an object of a certain dimensionality in a space with a different dimensionality. You study the most fascinating topics, I love your channel, but you really should put your maths together if you don't want all your work to be completely useless. Thanks for the attention.
