A Place for the Subject in Times of Object's Consumption: A Clinical Case

ABSTRACT

Psychoanalytic clinic has always been connected to social reality, since each historical time brings different demands and singular ways to address them. However, nowadays, the weakening of the symbolic field calls the belief in the Other into question, and, therefore, the concepts of subject and clinic. This article aims to extract, from a clinical case that addresses the topic of drug consumption, an effort from Lacan's psychoanalytical orientation to ensure the role of the subject.

Keywords:
subject; psychoanalytic clinic; real; symbolic; drug addiction
