Tombras, Christos
Psychodynamic practice, 04/2018, Volume: 24, Issue: 2Journal Article
What follows is an edited version of a talk delivered given at the Freud Museum in July 2017, as part of a Conference under the general title 'The Unthinkable'. With this transcription I have attempted - but not always succeeded - to somehow capture the spontaneity and informality of the delivery. Human beings are speaking beings. To speak means to reach out, to relate. By speaking we partake in a world created and sustained by our discourse. And yet, we suffer as bodies. Panic attacks, morbid anxieties, addictions, -destructive behaviours, all these 'modern' types of suffering, do not but reflect the limits of our language: they delineate the realm of the unthinkable, that is, the realm of what cannot be spoken about. A small clinical vignette will be used as an illustration of what our challenge as analysts is - namely to reach beyond the statistic normativity of diagnostic manuals, and create a space to articulate the unthinkable.
