ABSTRACT

Rather the invitation was to a play with the raw of language and the flow of this raw towards the un-representable. Charlie made use of the author invitation to the raw. The means for influence came from the raw of Charlie speech, where non-sense provided something other than the seemingly unshiftable reality of Oedipus. After many sessions, Charlie decided that he wanted to play outside. With the death of Boy Charlie had forsaken the god-play of resurrection. Charlie also introduced a new character in this same session: a “hammer of justice” that came to feature in several ways in the closing sessions of the treatment. Supernanafrick heralded the arrival of a power of invention that came to inhabit Charlie. Firstly, Charlie is making a mockery in his linguistic play, saying his father’s only interest is in filling up his pants. Charlie bursts the bubble of enjoyment, making it incomplete and unbounded.
