Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference · Patricia Gherovici · p.82
**SIMULATION, EXPRESSION, AND TRUTH**
Theoretical move: The passage traces Lacan's theoretical trajectory from Babinskian psychiatry through Surrealism to a distinctly Freudo-Lacanian account of hysteria, arguing that his "Return to Freud" was simultaneously a return to hysteria as the privileged site where truth emerges in speech, and that his early mirror-stage framework recast hysterical symptoms as imaginary body-fragments rather than organic or simulated phenomena.
This new term conveyed that hysteria was a kind of simulation curable by suggestion... He concludes that this double perspective can clarify 'difficult notions like over-simulation and pithiatism.'
