There are several models and theories of psychological study of human sexuality. The American Psychological Association (APA), the Association of American scientific and more recognized in psychology, consider homosexuality and heterosexuality two normal forms of human sexuality. The Association argues that the same forms of sexuality are not as defined as the culture would always bring in an unequivocal manner. In accordance with the APA, are critical of everything that vein "psi" which, until the Seventies, he considered homosexuality a deviance from an assumed normal model and unique sexual development and, today, in one way or another , tries to bring back through the window what was then led out the door.
also a vein of post-Freudian psychoanalytic theories lose any value and meaning when you have in front of the human being, however, borne of his suffering with normative standards that deny the existential forms of authentic living. Psychoanalytic theories, above all others, should promote freedom of expression and empowerment of human beings through self-knowledge and the world.
But when the psychologist acts as the professional who knows the right way to live and, by virtue of this, dispenses advice, falls into the most basic thing can commit, the typical Who's the beginning of the profession or who is subject to the dominant culture and questions the meaning of life. The cinematography, for example, uses this figure-puppet subjected to the power to emphasize, sometimes rightly mimic the behavior of those psychologists who advise their patients to live in a certain way, while their first, of course to fail. The psychologist, however, has the task of returning the patient to his freedom, not to give the new rules. The same theories that arise in relation to the behavior of humans setting out what is right and the wrong, are binding on the person, forgetting their main function, their real value. Their clinical application becomes a 'technical, managerial, authoritarian and ultimately counterproductive, as it stifles the expression of the human existence.
Recently, a famous French psychoanalyst, Jacques-Alain Miller, has moved against a ministerial psychologist who takes away the autonomy of its own vital point defined it as "an agent of social control," which "obeys the protocols, does what he is told, it collects data." This control agent, I might add, speaking for statistics and cancels the singularity and subjectivity of his patients. Being a puppet can not help but also imprison his patients in a blank piece of wood in the hands of a puppeteer who holds power and rules making it move in his own image and likeness: Miller defines this professional techno-psi " (his article in this News my site).
La psicoanalisi, dal mio punto di vista, deve mantenere rigorosamente il suo privilegio di porsi:
a) in modo riflessivo e interrogativo nei confronti dell’essere umano e della vita;
b) in modo decostruttivo dell'ordine socio-familiare, con le sue implicazioni affettive, in cui l'individuo è immerso, potremmo dire incarnato e da esso quasi del tutto dipendente.
All'interno di questo quasi - quindi all'interno di un piccolo spazio - la psicoanalisi può e deve muoversi, con l’obiettivo di dare al paziente gli strumenti per aprirsi a un mondo non più prestabilito, allo scopo di vivere in autonomia secondo il suo soggettivo e personale modo di espressione di sé, aldilà delle persone e delle norme che lo vorrebbero uguale a se stesse.
