ABSTRACT

This section discusses the function of interpretation as intrinsic to psychoanalytic experience, especially in relation to clinical encounters. It ties this difficulty to the incompleteness inherent to any psychoanalytic theory. It delves into the link between what psychoanalysis calls truth and the concept of letters by focusing on the experience of the psychoanalytic cure. Letters are a reformulation of what Freud called trauma or mnemic traces. This section explores the difficulty of interpretation by highlighting the connections between subjective topology and the subjective construction of knowledge about sex. It starts to establish the ties between speech and dimensions of the infinite that the subject will use to construct a perception of body. It also begins to situate how the subject receives a nomination to a sex.
