ABSTRACT

Chapter 7 continues the exploration of the clinical cases in order to show the fundamentally autistic nature of the structure of the subject whose nucleus is a central void governed by a constraint of unification and cohesion. This is contrary to the primitive void which is hypersaturated owing to its procreative expansion and aims to discharge itself at any price. Hence, the need for a third topography alongside the first two Freudian topographies, a topography of the included third where the forces of differentiation of the sexual excess are counterbalanced and unified with the forces of homogenization of the subject in such a way as to permit their miscegenation in respect of their identity of perception. The Piggle and Little Hans show the danger of remaining enclaved if they cannot fabricate baby “girls” with a father who encompasses them in an open oneness. For the Rat Man, all his obsessions are an attempt to re-establish this autistic dynamic of the egg by restoring the premature scission of contrasting pairs that blew apart his primitive enclosure, threatening both the “lady” as an encompassing figure and “the father in the next world” as a source of immortal life.
