Marriage for all:
Against the instrumentalization of
psychoanalysis
Paris, 13th January 2013
The undersigned psychoanalysts
deplore the persistent use which is made of psychoanalytic knowledge to
endorse, in the debate that agitates the nation, some theses opposing the bill.
Consequently, they are
constrained to declare:
– that nothing in the Freudian
experience is likely to validate an anthropology which would authorise itself
in the Genesis;
– that the Oedipal structure
brought out by Freud is not an anthropological invariant;
– that at the level of the
Unconscious, the sexes are not linked by any original complementarity
whatsoever, which is expressed in Lacan’s aphorism: “the sexual relation does
not exist”;
– that it is up to each
speaking being to find the ways of his or her desire, which are singular, twisted,
marked by contingencies and misencounters;
– that some do this with the
help of religious belief, and others without it; an analyst does not have to
give an opinion about that.
