Subversive psychoanalysis and its potential orientation toward a liberation psychology: From a Lacanian reading of Martín-Baró to a committed use of Jacques Lacan
Ignacio Martín-Baró will be read from a Lacanian point of view, which might help us to deepen our comprehension of some ideas of liberation psychology and reinterpret them in a new way. The reading will be centred on the notion of the truth, which will be related to six pairs of other literal terms that we also find in both Lacan’s and Martín-Baró’s discourses, namely, the individual and society, image and reality, future and liberation, structure and oppression, ideology and psychology, and before and below. On the basis of this reading, we will suggest a way to make a committed use of Lacanian subversive psychoanalysis through its orientation to liberation psychology.
