L’efficacia è un tema che sempre assilla la classe manageriale. Un filosofo raffinato come François Jullien, autore di un complesso Trattato sull’efficacia , dove mette a confronto sull’argomento tutta la cultura Chinese and Western, was quickly enlisted for an internship aimed at business managers apparently engaged in some kind of business with the East.
utilitarian vision, its corporate culture, seeks to maximize the benefits of our actions, which must then go and sign with minimum losses. No to detours, not to delay, not to play coy with the time in which Bataille promoted the futility of pleasure in an economy focused on excess and on the waste.
The prospect of effectiveness is conceived in utilitarian terms, it applies today, without much selection, just about anything, then to the field psychotherapy. If the action is effective in the Agreement means with ends, what is the end or, ultimately, the product must be derived from psychotherapy (and psychoanalysis, because you do not make subtle distinctions)? The health? The well-being? The cure? In medicine, the health
know what that is: the WHO has described as a complete state of physical mental and social triggering endless controversies, and we also know how the experience of psychoanalysis, focusing on a lack, a jet ' shadow over everything that claims to complete, whole, total.
welfare instead is the hunting ground of holistic therapies, center of resonance of all the harmonies, dangerous crossroads between medicine and morality, or morality, the ethical aspect that eschews Freudian as that which leads to worse.
What then is the cure from the medical point of view is clear: the recovered fully, the return to an earlier illness. But what is in the field of mental illness, if we try to go beyond a definition that makes pin on the concept of rule by the Freudian tradition deconstructed?
As you can see the current schemes of what it produces when operating a treatment do not apply to psychoanalysis if not assuming a number of issues on which, in Freud, we are working on for years.
If, for example, as a criterion for healing, you take one of the remission of symptoms, we find that psychoanalysis is not consistent with this policy because it promotes a rather different use of the symptom, which makes it a sign of enjoyment. What psychoanalysis calls symptom is in fact not the same as what medicine calls with the same name.
needed, so when you enter this field, special precautions criticism.
You may think then that it is an epistemological problem and a need to go to the foundations of the doctrine of truth by putting to the test. Maybe for a while 'we have believed this story, and in the eighties and nineties we lost time to discuss and respond to the objections of the various Eysenck, Grünbaum, Macmillan. But it is a dead end.
The alliance between scientism and management, highlighted by Jean-Claude Milner on the trail of Leo Strauss, is now too dazzling to the eyes because they do not jump all the problems we have tried to discuss the epistemological level are actually political problems. Chapter epistemology and psychoanalysis finds its truth in the chapter, less flashy but certainly more proactive management and psychoanalysis. The epistemological claims of legitimacy must be stripped science because of their appearances are showing their true essence, that is politics.
In fact, psychoanalysis does not enter into a collision course with the criteria of science, but with the liberal government that with the turn of the eighties have settled in the government leadership the Western world.
The Chicago School, whose leading exponents were Milton Friedman and George Stigler, inspired Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in a policy that has made the economy more and more autonomous from the State and society.
The only criterion applied is the profitability, whatever the cost. We've seen what it cost, for example, Argentina in the wild liberalism that, at the time of Menem has led to apply the recipes of Domingo Cavallo aimed at curbing inflation, and finished with the big sack of December 2001 put in place by a population crippled.
In Italy the turning point is 1980 when, in October, the march of forty thousand, the so-called silent majority, the defeat marked the Fiat epochal union has opened a new Orleanists years, almost to echo Guizot: "Nurture".
This invasion of the market principle raised in unopposed plasma mentality, is the opinion becomes the basis of every hackneyed argument, as il fondo opaco di cui non occorre discutere, stabilisce silenziosamente la premessa essenziale. Produttività, tempi rapidi, costi-benefici, efficacia diventano i cardini, gli assiomi su cui si basa ogni ragionamento.
È un solido pragmatismo fondato sulla quantità. Quanto rende un’attività rispetto a quel che costa? Quanta salute produce la psicoterapia? Quanto benessere mi dà la psicoanalisi? Quanto tempo mi ci vuole per ottenere dei risultati concreti? Quanto? Quanto? Quanto? La logica quantificatrice, anello di congiunzione tra lo scientismo e l’amministrazione, fa il suo ingresso trionfale dalla porta che gli apre il liberismo. Vedremo se il crollo della Lehman Brothers, a partire dalla quale si sono begin to perceive the true dimensions of the current crisis erode the tenets of this extremist doctrine.
those hired now is not a battle for truth, which covers the fundamentals of a doctrine and its consistency with practice, it is a battle of opinion, aimed at promoting a new dimension of credibility.
I think the key was in the history of your life you had, unconscious on the tracks that the events have left you in the choices you made in the place where life has taken you behind, surprised, overwhelmed, raised or sunk? You're wrong! The key is in the genes. You are unfaithful because you have a living heritage non-compliant - but meeting! - With the pious dictates of monogamy and respect for the family, of course, imposed by a non-negotiable laws of nature. You are depressed, you think the world has no place for you, you are convinced that The Human Stain that pollutes the earth's surface? It's because you have a chemical imbalance in the brain have the serotonin ill balanced. But there is no problem because we have a new generation of drugs without the side effects of those who have sold up to yesterday, which leaves everything in place, and tomorrow we will have a generation of drugs without the side effects that we have not yet found in what we sell today, e. .. can go on forever: they are topics that do not allow for objection.
keeps on hitting the media, these stories become daily nourishment opinion, become the obvious, which is not necessary to discuss. There is the assurance of science, Expert, a new name in the Name of the Father pseudo-version: its authority is founded on the belief that lives firmly in science. We tend to say that faith is the place of certainty and science culture medium of the doubt. True, but when the general science passes quickly through the vehicle of news, the simplification of knowledge in pill prune all doubt by raising the last Supervisor: just because science cross the doubts of the tested method of trial and error is able to secrete the pearl of a certainty that solidifies in the common mind with the imperishable strength of titanium.
A leader of this devastating action of common sense, psychoanalysis is losing glamorous. Old procedure still relies on only the word, impossible to verify in a double-blind experiment, based on something so little like the idea of \u200b\u200bthe empirical, the promoter of a sexuality that pornography does not coincide with the feelings described by networks TV indifferent to any conflict of interest that is, psychoanalysis appare definitivamente out of fashion.
Capiamo dunque ora da dove arrivano le salve, dov’è la vera linea di fuoco, dove avviene il dibattito che conta. Non su The Lancet o su Nature , ma sui quotidiani, sulle reti televisive, nei podcast, in quel ronzio continuo che rintrona le orecchie, che rende sordi a sé stessi prima ancora che ai segnali dell’inconscio, perché tende a formatizzare il soggetto sulle esigenze della massimizzazione del profitto.
Si è preteso a volte che la psicoanalisi fosse una pratica autoritaria, si è detto che infantilizza i pazienti, ma la crescita in questi ultimi due decenni di una società autoritaria che tende a soffocare la psicoanalisi attraverso regolamentazioni che appiattiscono tutto è la dimostrazione migliore che la psicoanalisi vive soltanto dove si respira democrazia autentica. Una pratica di liberazione del soggetto come quella della psicoanalisi è messa alle strette in un mondo che fa del soggetto il burattino del proprio patrimonio genetico, a favore di un governo biopolitico il cui progetto è fin troppo appariscente a chi non ha gli occhi accecati dall’ultima puntata del Grande Fratello, e ha invece ancora nella memoria la lettura dell’autentico Big Brother , quello di Orwell. Convinto di descrivere solo le purghe staliniane, Orwell ha invece disegnato il mondo where we are going to live if we resist the one in which the Big Brother shows us four fingers of one hand saying that they are five, and the subject responds with conviction that it is true, I own five!
