When she comes to meet me during the first months of Enzo’s arrival in the institution, Mrs with parents . L. addresses her complaint, an imaginary dam as Lacan calls it and which concerns her child: he has left his old friends, his old day hospital, he is not getting us to the change of institution, it is hard for him; at school the timetable is not the one that would be suitable, why was the time of the French class chang, the math class mov, would it not be better for Enzo to do sports on Monday, eat in the canteen three times rather than two, etc. Everything is subject to questions about what should be put in place for her son; and could he not have speech therapy, meet a child psychiatrist in town…?
Fac with the demands to
which she expects answers from us, I do not oppose anything while responding with little conviction: “Ah… yes… Maybe… Well… Let’s talk about it again…” Inde, if she has demands, it is phone number list probably for us, at this time, to know how to “disappoint them in the right way” because any consistent response would not fail to be put through the creating your unique social mia branding mill of inadequacy, dissatisfaction, of a “that’s not going well”, perpetuating the mother’s demands and freezing the son
Until a more specific question
nags at her: she has receiv an offer of an appointment at another institution. Should she go? With Enzo or not? Wouldn’t it be better for him there rather than at our place? I take the only position that is the basis of any practice orient towards psychoanalytic ethics: to talk about it with Enzo. He knows nothing, he is not aware of this european union email list appointment. Will the mother be angry to learn that we have spoken to her about it? On the contrary, she is surpris but rather reliev. wants to go to this appointment and tells his parents about the possible change of institution that this could cause for him: “And me, can I give my opinion?”
