The clinic of solidarity with the subject of psychosis
Elan Yadin Cohen
Psychosis, 2025, vol. 17, issue 3, 321-325
Abstract:
Embracing a history of psychoanalytic thought, this paper reimagines therapeutic practice to honor the dignity and subjectivity of persons with psychosis. Drawing on psychoanalytic perspectives, the author critiques the mechanisms that segregate individuals with severe psychiatric distress, perpetuating isolation and marginalization. Highlighting the institutional circuit that confines many to a cycle of transient care, the paper argues for a psychoanalytic clinic of solidarity that fosters genuine relationality. It critiques prevailing treatment paradigms that prioritize symptom suppression over existential engagement, advocating instead for therapeutic approaches rooted in empathetic presence and mutual recognition. Ultimately, it proposes solidarity as a foundational principle for transformative care that seeks to restore agency and belonging to persons with psychosis.
