brilliant work

thank you for the efforts you are putting in.

Thanks for this as a always. Great clarity.

i love the libido theory of Freud. There is so much in there. Thank you for your reading

This is fascinating. I have been reading a lot about healing and the descending into madness (hell) in order to heal. As in, we have to face it to heal it.

Thank you so much for this series. I'm currently on my first rodeo with a friend experiencing psychosis, and this conversation has been affecting. Thank you.

Thank you, Dr. Hook, for such an informative video, but I am wondering with a question in my mind. I mean, what, or I should rather say, how, the image ( ideal ego) how does this ideal ego interact with the symbolic? I mean, the process of subjectivization necessarily involves coming into symbolic, in spite of the violence it involves, but how does that jump from Image to language take place? if you can explain it a bit, that you so much.

substantial insight, thanks a lot. nevertheless couldn’t the specimen dream of psychoanalysis be the one with the motto ‘you are requested to close the eyes’ (november 1896, in letter fifty to flieβ) ? wouldn’t that perhaps match your remarks re: the name-of-the-father (three videos; 2020) ... father always as a dead one according to lacan’s subversion du sujet ? and because one’s father dies our own life’s at risk ... « I now feel quite uprooted » : sort of transgenerational approach to vulnerability & ego scatter. who knows cheers anyway

i think the liberating meaning can only been seen AS subjective destitution, liberation akin to the liberation of electrons off atoms when exposed to ionising radiation, rather than liberation in this immediate political sense.

Perfect

I am free

How can i become Meera's research subject?

God job, please share with us the Google Drive`s file of this part

I would say 70% of people are psychotic. They believe in one or more invisible arbitors that run this whole sh!t show. Only a small portion of these unlive their children because of demon possession. Many people have drug induced psychosis and are better for it. My son that saw his buddy get run over by a grain truck when he was seven and they were playing together never really claimed the subsequent voices he heard helped much.

You boys display a lack, namely lack of not having read the Anti-Oedipus.

19:55 where can i find his autobiography? couldn't quite understand the psychiatrist's name

I think Todd McGowan has made similar remarks around the unconscious being the site of freedom for even non-psychotic people. The death drive can sabotage our rational conformism with the symbolic order in ways that conscious choosing cannot.

great reading. thank you!

Stijn Vanhuele not with k.

Thank you. Very informative!

Interesting... However more refreshing - beyond what I call the Lacanian cult: Deleuze and Gattari Dr. Thomas Szasz "All schools of psycho-therapy are much akin to churches and religions, with therapists as their brainwashed priests -and should never get mixed up with law, let alone the state" T. Szasz was a genius Not a science. Far more a creation of truths through the adaptation and projection / fabrication of top-down conceptual ideas to be spread within academia, culture and upon the world and its people. Eg. Bernays x Freud. The future will be hilarious as soon as A.I. understands how to trick us through all the bs we believe. We are being played out by ANYTHING we believe we freely choose to believe for better or worse.

Polymorphous perversion of undifferentiated drives, followed by some mixture of it with secondary narcissism (but still quasi‐inherent even if it doesn't match the frame of primary narcissism) and its tension, followed again by a negotiation of that tension with more external object relations and alterity, makes more sense to me. Of course, with attendant textuality of minimal objects/objet, and additionally a transconnective sphere. I don't think the "earlier state" of self love existed-even if polymorphous enjoyment of satisfaction were a bit more 'simple' and prior, it was still with its discontents-Any attempt to return is an attempt to "return" to a retroactively idealized state, which might be where some symptoms stem from or get caught up in i don't believe in an intrauterine monad due to my study of matrixial theory-even wombs themselves, or the gestalts of a polymorphous undifferentiated body postbirth, are dynamic, turbulent and already both "not enough" and "too much" (both the environment and your jouissance), preventing a symbiotic fusion with either the primary caregiver or one's own body. This lack of fusion doesn't lead to splitting endlessly either, hence the stratum of the several (not one, not endless split) developing contemporaneously in dialectic with the strata of the one and the many

You look dead not sleepy 😂 good work

vampirism is real!

If it could be said, we would have stopped talking by now.

this is rly good shit bro

This non interpretation approach is such powerful method that deconstruct our biases and attitudes. It is decolonization of our mind ❤

Fantastic material, never stop making these

This is great. Thank you .

Thank you very much Derek for your educational videos, I appreciate it a lot.

I am one of the rare people who understands everything Lacan has written.

brilliant stuff!

Didn’t even know I was looking forward to this. Thanks a lot mate!

What about that patient you trained on when you were gettiing your obligatory clinic hours in the community clinic? He thought you were committed to his healing.

oh!! Derek, thank you so much! Excellent choice of topic.

6:20 what is the name mentioned here? I couldn't figure out

Hell yea

Yes! What a lovely thing to wake up to! Happy heritage day as well.

Thanks, Dr. Hook. Looking forward for more lectures. Is this a hint of a coming new book about Lacan on Dreams? 😊

You can't achieve a healthy state of separation on the foundation of an insecure or disordered or traumatized attachment. Healthy separation - or autonomy, or what religions have called spiritual detachment - can only be reached from a secure base, a healthy attachment. There are many neuropsychological brain research studies now in circulation to prove it. Attachment theory has a solid fund of empirical evidence; it's not merely an academic fashion.

I'm curious to know why the Nietzsche book seems to be on a 'not to read anymore' list?

Good to see another obsessive underliner!

The history of my life...

i am so grateful that i can watch this awsome content for free. After 3 years of trying to understand some lacanian theory, you made it possible for me to finally put everything i've heard together in just 3 days, you are amazing!!

man i was thinking about doing a 15 page essay on the transition from freuds death drive to lacans death drive but i'm starting to realize that this might not be possible to put into 15 pages :/

If big other is not inside or outside, perhaps it is the divider its self, the cutting line of inside/outside. The big other is / Barred The veil itself.

Loving the intimacy of the moments of the analysis taking place.

hello sir Derek William Hook , i just wanted to know you have born in which country. thankyou

What I've learned from this video ..... "People have been having naughty bad sex for a long time!" 🤣
