The Situation of Psychoanalysis and the Training of Psychoanalysts in 1956
Theoretical move: Lacan argues that the unconscious is structured like a language—governed by the primacy of the signifier over the signified and by overdetermination as syntax—and that this symbolic order, which is extimate to man (outside him yet constituting him), cannot be reduced to naturalist materialism, neurological automatism, or Jungian archetype; only psychoanalysis, properly grounded in linguistics, can force recognition of this primacy.
Combinatory logic gives us the most radical form of this symbolic determination, and we must learn how to give up the naive requirement that would have us locate its origin in the vicissitudes of the cerebral organization that occasionally reflects it.
