Abstract

ANDRADE, Cleyton. The zen technique as a Lacanian response to the crisis of analytical technique. Tempo psicanal. [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.1, pp. 125-142. ISSN 0101-4838.

The text seeks to investigate a Lacanian response to what he himself called the "crisis of analytic technique" among post-Freudians. It highlights some impasses arising from the notion of "Ego" and its clinical and theoretical consequences. It points to the use of the Zen technique, at the beginning of Lacan's teaching, as a critique of a deviation from practice, and as a non-identitarian and non-essentialist principle of the self. Zen would not be an allegorical feature in Lacanian rhetoric, but a precise form of resumption of a thought of negativity within analytic practice.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; zen; analytical technique.
