Project Description
This article charts the deconstruction of the 'medical model' (which was taken for granted as a basic paradigm for the work of psychoanalysis by Freud at the conception of our profession) over the 100 years since then. It starts from the premise that the 'medical model' implies a dualistic split between practitioner and patient which ring-fences the 'wound' in the patient. That split has been questioned and comprehensively de-constructed by a series of insights into how the patient's wound refuses to be segregated and 'enters' - the consulting room, the therapist and even the supervisor.
