The Entrapment of Psychoanalysis in Splitting

Who can evaluate what is innovative, if not life itself—that is, lived experience in its most naked and pulsating form? Psychoanalysis today is sliding into a linear reduction, where words recycle around themselves and lose contact with real experience. Within this closed system, theory tends to turn into a self-sufficient code, ultimately failing to encounter its own essence. Yet it can offer solutions only when it returns to the place where it is tested: the world of relationship. The human search for meaning is neither a wandering nor a pursuit of a few objects as fragmentary satisfactions; it is the effort to constitute a whole experience, a vital claim that seeks coherence within contact. When psychoanalytic theory analyzes isolated parts without illuminating their interrelation, it produces concepts that remain fragmented and accumulate without forming a unified field of understanding; thus, it contributes to a contemporary Babel, where the multiplicity of terms does not translate into shared experience and becomes inaccessible to most people. We all share this same “blind spot”: the tragedy of our time lies in the fact that, although we possess the means, we are unable to understand ourselves and one another. This deep internal dysregulation constitutes the primary cause of the external dysregulation we experience in the world.
