The Mirror Stage as Formative of the / Function > 77. *On the Sociological Reality of Crime and Law and on the Relation of Psychoanalysis to their Dialectical Foundation*
Theoretical move: Lacan argues that only psychoanalysis, through its dialectical experience of the subject, can ground a properly constituted forensic expertise on crime, because the ego's formation through identification is structurally negative (alienating) and unconscious—making truth not a pre-given but a dialectic in motion that neither narcosis nor genetic psychology can access.
only psychoanalysts can answer such a question, in that only they have a dialectical experience of the subject.
