To Have Done with the Judgement of God: The Analyst as Advocate (A Cure for Psychosis)
When it comes to psychosis - which is co-produced between the Subject and the Other ($ A) - the cure requires more than the treatment of the Psychiatrist or the neutrality of the Analyst. It requires the Analyst as Advocate ($ a/A) - the Analyst as object of speech where the Other fades. The Advocate - an invention of modern democratic law - is the one who speaks for. It would appear that this is the opposite of the analytic ethic but in the case of psychosis in which the voice has been absented, the analyst must join the ethic of listening with the consequent ethic of speaking for in relation to what has been heard. The practice of the analytic advocate is related to the Pass procedure which Lacan invented where the passeur advocates for the analysand to a jury. This practice is also related to that of the artist and poet: a test at the point of psychosis - a testament at the point of madness. Analytica will assemble a supreme court of experts on Psychoanalysis, Anti-Psychiatry, and Critical Legal Studies to hear testimony on the Clinic of Psychosis.

Organizer Analytica
Organizer of To Have Done with the Judgement of God: The Analyst as Advocate
Analytica is a research and training association linked to the New Clinic, both founded in 2000 by Dr. Scott Von and associates for the production of clinical and theoretical work in integral medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and related fields of the arts and sciences. Analytica is unique in developing a project to produce a clinic and place for medicine and psychiatry to be practiced in conjunction with and as preliminary to pure analysis. We seek to further Freud and Lacan’s project of taking psychoanalysis out of the medical and therapeutic paradigm and into a new form of psychic transformation and social relation. Analytica exists for the production of analysis not for the production of analysts. The question of whether one wants to further one’s professional practice – for example as a doctor, teacher, artist, scientist, or otherwise – with their analytic work is unique to each person. Analytica does not require or provide degrees, licenses, or exams, which are relevant to the university or state of each member. Analytica is concerned with the production of analysis in extension as a form of transmission and transformation of social relations by means of the analytic discourse, and thus it functions as a school, clinic. laboratory, gallery, theatre, and publisher for the production of its members.
