Finding Normal
Attending to 3 themes—the favored levers of revolution, the relation of inscription to the corporeal, and the function of the phallus within heteronormativity—this essay responds to Van Haute’s (this issue) important critique of some pathways through Lacanian territory. Careful consideration of the parameters marking clinical work and social theory bear attention as well as formulating the terms of radical clinical work. The reification of perver…
Technology and addiction
Reactions to re-reading Juliet Mitchell’s psychoanalysis and feminism
Lacan, Freud, the humanities, and science
The ambition of psychology to be recognized as a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) discipline reflects not only debates about what sort of research should be funded, but broader cla
The impasses of encounter
This paper is a response to Mandy Morgan’s “Sado-Masochism and Feminist Desire: The Other Measure of True Love Bleeds.” It attempts to take her ambiguities in authorial voice and interrogation of sado-masochism in narrativity and within subjectivity as serious impasses for the understanding of a feminist transformative desire. Although far from touching on all dimensions of the text, the response essay indicates how the dilemma of violence itself…
In the World of Language but not of It
This paper examines the possibility of facilitating and maintaining the tension of dialogue between Lacanian psychoanalysis and discourse psychology. In the context of contemporary debates surrounding the discursive position of the speaking subject, Lacanian psychoanalysis and discourse psychology both attend to a project congruent with the analysis of socially articulated ways of producing knowledge, the ethical situation of the subject in conte…
Psychoanalysis
This paper examines the decision within Lacanian psychoanalysis to formalize the theory of psychoanalytic praxis. The intrinsic problematics of analysis, the place of authority, unconscious knowledge, the roles of embodiment and representation, and singularity are addressed as challenges that psychoanalytic theory must address. It is argued that psychoanalysis cannot locate its autonomy from or complicity with hegemonic cultural discourses withou…
Dissenters in the Sanctuary
Critiques of cognitive psychology and cognitive science principally target cognitiv ism, defined here as doctrinal commitment to computational processing over internal representations as a model of human intelligence. This paper reviews the principal points of critique, but argues that some prominent efforts within cognitive science currently exhibit conceptual and methodological broadening, to the point of revision or rejection of the core assum…
The Subject as Drop-Out
In this paper, psychoanalysis and humanistic psychology are treated as exemplars that demonstrate the salience of social factors in the constitution of the discipline of psychology. There have been a number of efforts that have addressed this impertinent social factor that compromises psychology's claim to being a sort of natural science. Within the current climate of alternative positions in the discipline, it is often assumed that psychology ca…

The Transfer from the Clinical to the Social and Back
Keeping Subjectivity in Sexuality
(De)Sexing the family
Many legal arguments pertaining to equal rights for gay and lesbian families have relied upon empirical research on the `healthy' childraising environment of these families. While neither disputing recent legal gains nor diminishing their importance, this article looks at some of the conceptual categories that drive this research. The limitations of such research, as salutary as it is, are typically understood in terms of their obvious political …

Subjectivity and the Address to the Other
This paper remarks upon some enduring debates that both mark the field of psychology in general (the individual vs the social) and have taken new forms within emerging theoretical positions in the discipline. Most certainly, the question of subjectivity as a place of agency, an effect of discourse, as politically installed, and as the ethical source of action has preoccupied a number of contributors to Theory & Psychology. Authors attempt to brid…
Feminist Social Psychologies
Feminism, Psychology and Matters of the Body
Psychology's renewed interest in the body, even within feminist theory, has brought with it several philosophical and theoretical challenges. These challenges stem mainly from questions about how to celebrate a return to the body when conceptions of the meaning of `woman' have been tied historically to women's bodies. That is, for feminists, any return to the body requires a two-fold examination. It requires first an inquiry into the part of reig…
Raising the Stakes of Social Construction
The place of the Other
This essay proposes a more intense exchange between humanistic psychology and Lacanian psychoanalysis. Certainly, the two fields are aware of one another but an atmosphere of mutual suspicion and superficial knowledge characterize their relationship. If we examine some of the suppositions governing each approach, there are points of similarity. Both see “psychology” in its truest meaning as defined by ethics. Both countenance the importance of th…
