This theoretical report was read at the Eleventh Congress of French-Speaking Psychoanalysts in Brussels, May 1948.
This theoretical report was read at the XI Conférence des Psychanalystes de Langue Française in Brussels, May 1948.
Its objective was to give [[psychoanalysis]] the status of a [[science]], by making [[aggressivity]] into a concept, and by proving that [[psychoanalysis|analytic experience]] could, in its own way, provide results capable of founding "a positive science."
Lacan's conception of therapy is clear here; analytic technique is useful for setting into play the motivating forces of [[aggressivity]], in particular [[transference|negative transference]], the "inaugural knot of the analytic drama."
In order to fight against the [[ego]] of [[méconnaissance|misconstruction]] (''[[méconnaissance]]''], "maieutics" must operate through a detour, "to induce a guided paranoia," and from there it is possible to work.
These theses and the practice that they subte~d would give rise to many discussions and arguments.
However, what remains specific about [[psychoanalysis|analytic experience]] is the fact that it takes place entirely in [[speech]].
Only [[Oedipal]] [[identification]] with the [[father]] is pacifying and allows for social and cultural creativity.
