On the energy of psychoanalytic words

Abstract

The present work intends to address the issue of the psychoanalytic word through the examination of its relationship with unconscious dynamics and to question the very status of the word and the concept. Using three distinct approaches - Freud's initial work, Lacan's theory of metaphor and Abraham's critique - the analysis explores how the psychoanalytic concept is an element saturated by the unconscious and demonstrates how psychoanalysis examines the relationship of the split subject with language, where meaning constantly escapes standardization. By highlighting the physical-material dimension of the term psychoanalytic, the work reveals its constitutive instability and its distinction from academic science and philosophy. The anasemic intervention proposed by Abraham emerges as a key process of designification, touching the drive body of words beyond their conventional meanings.
