What types of violence inhabit us, and what is its relation in the split between a subject against himself? The guillotine performs a cutting effect: it separates the head from the body. This text proposes a point of insurgency in Freud's text "Psychology of the masses and analysis of the Self". Psychoanalysis finds itself in relation with the world where we live, thus, the clinic is not uprooted from the normative structures of society. It is known that when looking for determination, it is important to take into account the unpredictable that constitutes us. The incidence of the superego is where the dismemberment of the subject emerges. It is the instance that enable to understand the "destructive" way of functioning that inhabits every speaking being. Therefore, the analyst must not retreat from the death drive. Finally, telling the history has effects of corrosion in the individual.
