Different Business Agreement



We just had a body map in the group with which we have somehow answered or clarified certain aspects as to what we are and what powers us through it. All this would be part, implicitly, of the initial institutional analysis that the members of the center undertook some time ago. What we did was, basically, what is said in the text below:

" is tracing the outline of the patient's body on a flip chart and that it can make a unique map according to the multiple resonances that lead to such an image. The patient can there dividing the body at will, writing, painting .... finally, the mapping of intensities that move in the process of subjectivity. "



For the workshop used the proposal presented in following article appeared in Crystal Image:

BODY FROM A schizoanalytical


ABSTRACT:

This work presents some aspects of the concept of body in terms of developments in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Attempts to articulate this notion, being thought of as nocepto (following Juan Carlos De Brasi in "The Causal Monarchy"), depending on their operation in a clinical psychology practice might be called schizoanalytical. It also develops an approach to a conception of schizoanalysis, Felix Guattari approaches are in "Cartographies schizoanalytical." Introduces elements of psychological practice the author developed aspects of a technique suggested by Alfonso Lans in an area of \u200b\u200boversight, which he called "body mapping", presenting a clinical vignette.


Mr. Alfredo Perdomo

What is the body? Maybe it's a bad question. Wondering about the body (or anything) from the verb to be, makes us fall into a trap and transcendent language. We can make believe that something "is", ie that it can define precisely, it has an essence, which is a given, finish and even obvious, naturalized. Delusional illusion of human thought, denying the procedural dimension of reality, that nothing is static and everything is in motion.

Denial of molecular, slip into the moral logic and molar of the state apparatus. Make a turning toward the plane of immanence, to the procedural reality, we must necessarily place a logic of becoming. We may be more useful to ask: what becomes body? Question that launches us into the collective statement to make something known as the Body, making us see, think and imagine that "the body is x".

Felix Guattari, at a conference in Argentina in 1992 (entitled 'The new aesthetic paradigm "), on days near the end of his life, leaves us a very interesting statement, for" a redefinition of the body open. " It is clear that it is thinking about "the promotion of assemblages treatment of psychosis", it says, but it is clear that its future productive unconscious aims far beyond the level of psychosis. States: "The body conceived as the intersection of components autopoietic partial, multiple and changing settings that work together simultaneously and independently: the body's own speculation, fantasy body, the body schema neurological, biological and organic soma, the self immune personological identity within the family ecosystem and environmental, collective faces, the ritornelli mythical, religious, ideological ... Many other existential territorialities chaosmosis united by the same cross, as many "views" nomadic staggered, structured through ups and downs fractals, allowing a combined strategy analytical approach, institutional psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, recomposition
delusional personal or aesthetic "(p. 204).

As will appreciate, this may look like a definition, but does not really define anything. And surely this time Guattari fails to account for the multiplicity that this issue brings, but this effect is not interested utopian illusion that can hold to account a whole. Nothing is further from schizoanalysis to think about wholes. In any case, the "totality" would be a more than will add to the thing, ie a part of this complexity in motion.

Baruch Spinoza in the seventeenth century poses something similar as follows: "I do not know what might the body." As Deleuze poses in "Spinoza: Philosophy
Practice", the Dutch philosopher "attempts to show that the body than the knowledge that he has, and thought the same extent than the consciousness we have of him "(p. 28). Thus, Deleuze directs us to think that the body is always more than what one thinks is right out of consciousness.

A dictionary definition of common interest "Body" is so provocative, "limited portion of matter." Who sets the limits? Who holds your gear unit area, and how imaginary wishful thinking? Mankind has a long list of closures and reductionism, a desire sedentary samples in full force. As noted De Brasi, these constraints imply dualism that place "the imaginary existence of a limit and an imaginary boundary of existence" (in "Subjectivity, group, IDs". Ed. Search, BA, 1990).

That is why one can see in the conception of body Guattari traced by a revolutionary departure of reductionism known about the subjectivity and the body. Body that has nothing to do with known biological definitions, or with thumb: subjectivity that has nothing to do with the subject. More than a conception of the body, produces a nocepto Guattari, in the words of De Brasi ("The Causal Monarchy", pp. 81-87, Montevideo, Multiplicity, 1996) from realizing their (s) termination, without falling into vagueness of the concept or the rigidity of the concept. Performed, as stated by De Brasi a process "rhizomatic thinking opened from a temporary work historicized and diversified raw materials" (Op. Cit. p. 86).

And curiously, despite the hegemony of biological and medical thinking of the body individualized, limited, other coordinates to insist on the same
dictionary: "a group of people forming a community , community or association "," group of people who play the same profession. " The collective
insists, and there, determining and (s) ending also called "Individual human bodies." We know that there are no Crusoes Robinson, and that there is no human essence to their own social and historical relations where it is produced. In short, it is not mere social context of the psyche or the body (and we do not care to differentiate), but its text, its substance, its immanence. And do not think the body from biological gridding, which nationalized the functioning of the organs on the basis of certain operations. But, as Deleuze-Guattari say in "A Thousand Plateaus", "should not be considered without a body organs, broken body, but primarily a body without organs, different movements animated intensive determine the nature and location of the bodies concerned, that will turn that body into an organism, or even in a system of layers of the body is only part (Op. Cit., p.. 177, Ed Pre-texts , 1994).

Guattari in "Cartographies schizoanalytical" (Spring, BA, 2000) thinks schizoanalysis a double choice: modeling as a discipline in turn that "a reading of disiciplina other modeling systems "(Op. Cit. Page 31). "Modelling what? Anything, any portion of the area where the human is at stake. Actually it is a fine discipline of multiplicity. Under these definitions, always provisional and Guattari himself warns, schizoanalysis says is "the analysis of the impact of the provisions (also translated as Agency-my note-) statement on the production of semiotic and subjective in a problematic given context "(p. 32, op.). It is modeled to see how the act in question (Guattari says may be "things as diverse as clinical practice, an unconscious fantasy, a fantasy daytime aesthetic production, a fact which agencies ...."), micropolitical produce, what they think, what affect it subjectivize. And above all its lines of flight, those who point to a deterritorialization, to change, which threatens the instituted. The depliegue of these agencies, involving flows and lines already transforming the portion of subject matter, taking into account the processual movement of it.

How then think, and act accordingly, taking into account the gender perspective in the work of a psychologist? Do you spend the question of the body to work with the approaches of so-called "body psychotherapy? In itself, it goes without saying Psychotherapy Body from this perspective that does not think the dualistic separation psyche-soma. Not even an unconscious intrasubjective. "No idea is part of the wall, within which there are social relationships, and deeper relationships, and deeper still, in the head, an unconscious away in a corner of the brain. We start, in contrast, the idea that the unconscious through all these levels "(" The Becoming of Subjectivity ", Felix Guattari, pg. 53). A clinic that is worthy of being described as schizoanalytical must account for the composition of the subjective body heterogeneous, multiple, complex, ongoing, contradictory and always open mainstreamed beyond empirical levels in the social-historical field that produces it and which in turn is a producer. Must be at Baremblitt raised "a clinical resistance to anti-reproductive and subjectivities dominant production and generation of new subjectivities, and metamorphic critical" ("A new clinic for Psy Poliverso" SaúdeLocura, San Pablo, Hucitec .)

describe some of the technical components that I have developed as a clinical psychologist from this perspective (or perhaps more accurately, "to" such
perspective) that started in 1998 under the Social Service Psychological Care-Community (UDELAR) as a student and has continued in my practice (which is producing its effects lately my training at the Centro Felix Guattari .) I preferred (and not without some discomfort) level verbal communication, placing the production of free associations on a privileged site. However, interpretations and accusations have not operated in accordance with the guidelines exclusively psychoanalytic theorists (eg Oedipus complex and castration anxiety) have also been directed to clear processes of subjectivity diagrammed by Capitalism (values \u200b\u200bof success, competitiveness, individualism, etc..) strong by historical processes of social and media impact (the war in Iraq, financial crisis, the marriage of Prince of Spain, etc..) institutional issues (such as solving coping strategies at work in terms of power struggles, also the same in political or union organizations, etc.) materials existential problems (help thinking coping strategies to achieve basic needs in situations of vulnerability or social disaffiliation ), trans-lines, architectural layouts (how produce subjectivity spaces where we live and move) and multiple other components of the production of subjectivity. But the procedures to enable such displays are not only verbal. I resorted to: collages, drawings, drama, relaxation exercises, exercises imaginary production through managerial, technical scriptural themes based on (mostly in pairs or families), construction of objects and other products with different materials.

One technique suggested in supervision by Alfonso Lans is what he called a "Mapping the body." It is drawn the contour of the patient's body on a flip chart and that it can make a unique map based on the multiple resonances that lead to such an image. The patient can there dividing the body at will, writing, painting .... finally, the mapping of intensities that move in the process of subjectivity. Is a very noble and what is produced tends to generate effects and material that can work in different ways in multiple sessions. I do not intend this description to generate an effect of concern with this technique is only a sample of the creative power that necessarily must use the therapist based on the analysis of the agencies, their deployment and deterritorialization processes that occur. For example, a person in treatment two years ago, placed in its "body mapping" many significant elements in terms of a singular division of organs. They realized, for example, mechanisms to rationalize their relationship to place love in the brain, as well as their lack of passion in matters relating to work or school. He drew his eyes with a sort of bandage, placing attributing functions there watching films and reading books. While these activities are sometimes placed
in a position to establish lines of productive flight, at the time of his life had turned into a manic defense and denying that she could make contact with intense affections. Another significant element that surprised us both was that drew the heart and there he wrote "My Dad." After that contact was established with major affective paternal imago as always hitherto had brought his father with a lot of anger, hatred and disappointment, achieving positive contact with their father had left him. Also managed to deploy strong feelings of death placed on the waist, legs and feet of their maps. This person, who has important features psychotic, with major depression with death and self-harm, was able to contact elements of its history spanning key socio-historical moments like the dictatorship that ruled until his father's imprisonment on suspicion of being a member of the left, which only was imprisoned for some days, when he was a child. The logic of suspicion and paranoid control has always been installed at the level of his family, heightened in the era of civil-military regime, where the patient form the basis for its base
current subjective. This technique, mounted with others to deploy elements condensed there, along with all who are being used in the process have enabled
deterritorializations new connections and have an impact on improving the quality of life of this subject, displaying new outbreaks autopoietic. His delusional episodes, depression and autoaggressive if they continue, have decreased in frequency significantly. In addition, much of therapeutic work has been marked by the awareness of the need to take medication that sent the psychiatrist. Even from the first month of treatment, a key point was to get to consult a psychiatrist, because given the severity of their problems, only psychotherapy was difficult to effect changes.

Both of these forms as many others are trying to generate a new meta-modeling of the body, examining (where possible) their modeling and mapping
machinic its various links, creating (or helping to generate) possible new forms of subjectivity.

It nocepto working the body, not reduce it. Or put another way, working with the body and not against it. In this sense it is worth quoting Raúl García, who in "The Crowned Anarchy. Gilles Deleuze's philosophy, "let us this interesting and provocative assertion, which culminated in my presentation: "The political dimension of the body relies on its ability to subtract always something, to escape any kind of straitjacket, the smooth, slippery like fish scales, prior to any brand. Is the grid, but the body will always find a hole where something hovering: a thing, that. " (Op. Cit. P. 102, Ed Colihue, Bs, 1999).
