The "legitimate Psychoanalyst"

Psychoanalytic treatment cure many mental illnesses, helps you live better who is not considered as "sick" and is essential in healing psychosomatic illnesses. The patient improved significantly with treatment, his life, social relationships, work, sexuality, etc., Beyond the healing whether or not the goal of psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis opens and diverts his eyes on the navel (which is not necessarily synonymous with consciousness, but a new way of living, acting, thinking with knowledge not known) to a future reality to which he was blind, ie , healthy desire.

The concept of "legitimate psychoanalyst" is not a being, nor a state, rather it has to do on one side with a decision and secondly, to compliance with very specific requirements, such as: being in ongoing training study Freud's texts, studying also to scientists, writers and analysts who 111 years after the publication of the Interpretation of Dreams were the only ones that have actually been read Freud: Lacan, who repeatedly claimed to be Freudian, but it seems that few wanted to hear, and Menassa, which includes Freud, Lacan and Marx, in turn adding poetry, as an indispensable tool for listening to the analyst, among other things. What you get out of here is something else, do not say anything good or bad, but something else to psychoanalysis.

Other requirements are: to be permanently in psychoanalytic treatment, if you work until his death, until his death, writing and publishing scientific texts, belonging to a group or school where they perform all their training activity, monitored by a more ... and so on. One man does not exist, but a "psychoanalyst" alone, without culture, without contact with the world, art, poetry, either. As psychoanalytic practice must be marked by the limits of science, however for your listening must be possible to combine "any" thing "any" other and that makes it poetry. If your limits, if the prejudice, if morality and if the fantasy hinder or impoverish the results of the work, psychoanalysis psychoanalyst must more and better. This is not to say that nothing should be capable of, or control anything or empathy for anything, because that would indicate he is not doing the job training and analysis that is required. Working as a psychoanalyst is not anything, is the only work that demands the transformation of subject formation.

And although it is a legal requirement to have the agreement of the institutions to perform the work, no title, no "health authority" of the state is currently the criterion for saying that a psychoanalyst is a psychoanalyst, because they are light years ahead what that means, because if they read a page of Freud have misread and then have been saying that these "crap" that came up while reading is what Freud says, because the model does not permit states that requires psychoanalysis: human beings should live as mortals, which reach a quota of happiness through work, love, social productions, etc.. Produce for the state who think beyond their models threatens their power, so that if they accept the "psychoanalysis" is through theories that distort the true measure of economic, political, narcissistic and selfish. Psychoanalysis requires a certain distance, but not ignorance of the state ideology, the family, religion and morality.

The unconscious is not in any depth, and free association is not catharsis, Freud dismissed it as a technique for many years. I think what we should ask is: Do we still live before 1900?, 'Before the 1867?, How the Victorian era perhaps?. We have much work to do.
