How To Drill Holes In A Stone Fireplace

comment on Psychiatric Institute


I'm interested to comment on the subject of a lecture by Marcel Czermak in the Psychiatric Institute of Santiago Barak JH de Chile. That conference was named "Contemporary psychiatry seems to be unfortunately misguided" challenging subject in a psychiatric institution.
My motivation for making this comment sprang from conversations that took place after the event; discussions revolved mainly around the lack of understanding that we had all Czermak what he meant. Some even eager to see blood running, others, like me, we do not know what it was or what the title of the exhibition. In his presentation

Czermak in psychosis established how the function of organs and body parts can be very different than in the body of neurotic patients, then confined to the holes in the body. This is most evident in the case of patients schizophrenic whose body orifices have functional responsibilities that seem strange, if I remember Czermak gave an example in which a patient could no longer hear through the ears, and also spoke of patients in which the mouth is not served and to eat and seeking food from the ears or other body holes.
note that for Lacan body orifices are of great importance, particularly in relation to the concept that he intends to enjoy, although this is not something that I think I can fully manage to venture a bit to go wrong to ask what interests me. The completion of phallic jouissance is done through body orifices, delineate the locations of these holes through which can pass the drive, and therefore these are the holes that delineate what you download and enjoy what remains in the body and enjoy the profit.

"To love is to give what you do not have," he said at the conference Czermak accurately quoting Lacan. Love involves the action of desire and can be seen from this definition, such as giving a vacuum. For the speaker's love is carried out through the holes, marked by gaps and holes confined by the body, then such people are in the language holes to fill with "nails"-as Maria Elena Sota-translated can then kissing with his mouth full. For that kiss Czermak no love, because it is a kiss that is given from something full, is clearly different when given a kiss on the handing the vacuum's own oral orifice.
What is the desire for Lacan. The desire is metonymy tell him, but also gives us another definition. Desire, says Lacan, is what is an impediment to enjoyment, the desire says here does not rejoice, for here you enjoy. If we understand it in this way shows the relationship between desire and body orifices which form the boundaries through which to channel the phallic jouissance. Then began

Czermak tell us about Cotard syndrome, which often covered the holes are no longer good for anything, through them you can not eat or, as sometimes happens, can not be ejected. Is that they are covered. Then he said patients are not always psychotic, who make suicide attempts that are not intended to kill himself, that is, they are attempts dde poke holes in their reality, for example with a razor pierce the belly, or jump from building to make a hole in the world, a hole through which to enjoy. Carrying out these holes, as outlined in its reality, it is your desire.

Now how is that this relates to contemporary psychiatry?
Omar was a patient of sector 3, has a diagnosis of schizophrenia. We saw him get to the hospital with a very serious major wound on his forehead on which he gave little reference, but often coated with a headband he knew it was a hole that concerned doctors, little by little was being much better . But that wound, every so often reappeared. Her doctor saw it and started making the necessary arrangements for him to go high, so he talked to his family and the patient for their reintegration into the everyday world.
During the last interview with him the doctor noticed something strange, he asked: "Omar, why do you cover your face?, to see let me see .... " Omar was designed with a penknife, a nearly perfect cross on her head had a hole in its center. It was a wound more or less ugly, anyway, was discharged.

What was the other option her doctor?, She might have thought that Omar drugs were not in the corresponding doses or, perhaps, these drugs were not indicated, better or for worse, the patient was self-inflicted injury, psychotic patients you never know where you can stop this self-injury.
I remembered that in many places filled the mouths of patients with nails, as I said Czermak horrified by the practices of today's youth, but rather what does it take to fill their mouths are pills and find it arbitrary holes, also filled with needles.
