In this interview with Glyn Daly, Slavoj Žižek talks about the birth of ‘The Society for Theoretical Psychoanalysis’, and his own overall philosophical approach. He touches upon his intellectual ...relationship to thinkers such as Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Immanuel Kant and of course Jacques Lacan. His sources of inspiration are not only these great theorists, but also his four year long day job as a minute taker for the Yugoslavian communist party, and his personal relationship to Jacques-Alain Miller who gives him his psychoanalytical upbringing.Oversat af Nicklas Weis Damkjær
The Scientific Content Analysis (SCAN) was – despite its name –
often reproached for not being enough or not at all “scientific”. Sapir and
his followers tried to demonstrate its scientific validity ...by relying mainly
on statistics and psychology. This article proposes a different approach:
in the first step epistemologically rethink SCAN through the humanistic
science of linguistics as founded by de Saussure and further developed by
Jakobson, Derrida and others – while in the second step enhance it with
theoretical psychoanalysis in the variant of Ljubljana’s Lacanian School
of Psychoanalysis. All the theoretical work of the first part of this article
will be then tested on a case study taken from Slovenian contemporary
murder investigations, the so-called “Radan case”.

Aside from the division within psychoanalysis between positivists and constructivists, the adherents to each of these positions face divisions within their own theories. Every psychoanalytic paradigm ...must include theories of development, psychopathology and treatment. Yet, the methodologies used to construct each of these theories differ from one another. Theories of development and psychopathology generally use a positivistic approach in their construction, while theories of treatment are generally constructivist or hermeneutic in their methodologies. Two books, M. Shane, E. Shane and M. Gales' (1997) Intimate Attachments: Toward a New Self Psychology, and Merton M. Gill's (1994) Psychoanalysis in Transition: A Personal View each reflecting one of these positions, are discussed to illustrate the dilemmas each of these positions faces.
