Le structuralisme abordé à partir du paradigme du style : implications cliniques en psychothérapie

Abstract

The term “structuralism” designates a “method” and certain presumptions principally that of unconscious phenomena, which organize human groups, and therefore, the subjects themselves. The meaning and spirit of structuralism are sometimes misunderstood and identified to a simplified semiology or to complex and little understood modelizations. Structuralism will first be defined by its founders: Galois, Saussure, Lévi-Strauss, and described in his reports on psychoanalysis: Freud and Lacan. The concept of “style” will be our “guide” throughout the text, to lead to the idea according to which psychotherapic cure can resemble “stylistic work”. The “style” will thus correspond to the particular approach of a subject to jouissance, which results in the notion of “analysis of style” as a diagnostical path and the “stylistic work” as a cure. Such a method can lead the way to a return to the notion of “therapeutic art” to promote “a clinic of the detail”.
