Abstract

Although it rests specific theories, scientific objects and 'episteme', the opposition between psychoanalysis and addiction care services is not strict. As a theory, a method and a practice, psychoanalysis is largely consistent with addiction care services. Psychoanalysis constructs a theoretical object, 'The Addiction', from an interrogation about the position of the addicted subject (unconscious subject) and about his or her enjoyment. Psychoanalysis offers a method which deals with patients ' speeches regarded as subjective individual constructions and not as descriptions of facts. Psychoanalysis emphasizes that speech can lead to the question of the subject's desire. Psychoanalysis is also a practice of transference and, consequently, it develops a peculiar conception of healing, care and dependence. Psychoanalysis may also be regarded as a scientific discourse which analyses medical, psychological and sociological conceptions of addiction. As members of medical teams, psychoanalysts manifest positions about subjectivity, transference and ethics in therapeutic choices and care issues. © De Boeck Supérieur.
