Clinical Series: Psychoanalysis as Deconstruction
from Psychoanalytic Thinking with Dr Don Carveth Hosted by Don Carveth
In this lecture, the eighth in the Clinical Series, Dr Carveth discusses psychoanalysis as the deconstruction of literalized myth. Instead of getting caught up in the derivatives of the core unconscious phantasy or myth, analysts should listen for what is behind the conflicts and inhibitions it generates and deliteralize or deconstruct the core phantasy from which the repetition compulsion derives. Envy and aggression as grounded in a phantasy of lack, rationalized by Lacan instead of analyzed as phantasy.
