Abstract
In this paper, I attempt to explicate the fundamental ontology of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze in order to think through the implications of his understanding of the logic of sense for a critique and reconstruction of the ethics and practice of contemporary psychotherapy. I shall argue that Deleuze's understanding of sense leads to a new intensive conceptualization of subjectivity, which radically deconstructs the common sense and good sense that has structured Western notions of the subject since Plato. This new understanding of subjectivity opens up the possibility of constructing a different psychotherapy: a psychotherapy of difference conceptualized in terms of an ontology of dual temporalities or variable speeds.
