"Good afternoon, I must thank to share this evening of the Library Headquarters in Bilbao of the PRS, with you as always for some time are the perfect partner in this wonderful afternoon we passed the Library. And I must add that my appreciation is threefold: - By being here, "By sharing a table with Santiago Castellanos" And an excellent book, and as the books are for use, they are read, they are stressed, they put color etiquetitas . But the books also makes them speak, they are asked, we seek answers to these questions, the books are a wonderful tool for talking to them and theirs.
propose therefore, not a dogmatic presentation, rigid, but a conversation, a chat with each other to comment on this book I have here in my hands, I read with delight and I think it is absolutely rigorous. I was very interested in the book. It's a real lesson for us and I'll explain why I think this.
This text we have in our hands, "The pain and body language" is the result of an investigation. Of research in psychoanalysis, within the framework of the Barcelona Clinic Section. It's very interesting to read along the entire route from the text how, to my understanding, a first contingent of the young doctor meet with patients suffering Castellanos pain, he himself outlined in the book's introduction, where we gives a first hint: the case of a young actress with a sore knee doctor nothing to justify his appearance; interrogated by the subjective coordinates can be placed what had happened, in the words of the author "had to work on the elaboration of mourning for the symptom succumb where the pain had not demonstrated any effectiveness." Given, as well Castellanos says, the pain is not measurable or quantifiable. How to explain this clinical experience of pain?.
So it's very interesting, we read in the text and references to the pain of major medical associations, point out a few: "Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential injury or described in terms of the injury " "Pain is whatever the patient says it is" "Pain is what the person who experiences it tells us at the time and place that he feels, and the intensity that says he has." That is, even in these associations quantify everything, there is a plus, is not explained, which in my view is not quantifiable. We propose, Castellanos considered "chronic pain, the cause is organic, as a subjective experience, as a manifestation of body language.
For psychoanalysis the body speaks its own way, sometimes as heartbreaking, and may consider this symptom as such, as an enjoyment or as a support with a function in the joint body of the psychic apparatus. " The first meeting quota, the pain of the actress, Castellanos said to my way of understanding a second meeting: a rheumatology service circular reference hospital health center, which states that patients suffering from "fibromyalgia" were not referred for rheumatology service was collapsed by the claims and analgesic therapies were not effective and it was not clarified the cause of the disease. And my reading, this background can ask the question that will guide their research: is it possible treatment of fibromyalgia with the orientation of psychoanalysis?. We
we teach by Castellanos, the question as thread, it calls into question many things, First, and I understand it, fibromyalgia is presented as an identificatory signifier It can take under his wing a number of conditions, which as unexplained fall on their side. Exactly, I agree with Castro when he notes that there is no treatment for fibromyalgia, in a time of development of science where there are machines ever to photograph the subject of unlimited, hundreds of medical tests, studies and an invaluable list etc ., which would square when subject to find the ultimate cause. But, as seen James well in his text, the body is not sick.
In fibromyalgia, the body suffers the body. Fundamental distinction in psychoanalysis. The body is affected by the signifier.
Out of curiosity, I went to Google, "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" transcribe: "Fibromyalgia is a term coined in 1976 (Latin: fiber, referring to tissue, from the Greek myo, muscle and algia: pain). It refers to a group of symptoms and poorly understood musculoskeletal disorders characterized by persistent pain, extreme fatigue, stiffness, variable intensity of the muscles, tendons and tissue surrounding soft and a wide range of other psychological symptoms including .... Is a non-contagious disorder present between 3% and 6% of young women, usually between 20 and 50 years of age. Fibromyalgia is considered a controversial diagnosis, some authors argue that there is a disease by the negative results in the search for objective data through tests to confirm the diagnosis. Research in the past three decades have shown CNS disorders that affect brain regions that may be linked both clinical symptoms as phenomena discovered during investigations ... ... etc. We can see clearly how that which has no clear objective explanation is due to a deficiency in the CNS. It's interesting how the tools of the era, such as the Internet, give us significant that allow to explain the suffering of the same for everyone. And it is very interesting as we explained Santiago, pain is a symptom that asks for nothing. Indeed, the pain goes to the doctor, the friend, the Internet, to seek answers where there are no questions. Verified throughout the text of Santiago Castellanos, that there is a possible treatment for fibromyalgia, which is the subject to engage in a question for your pain and that's picked up by someone that makes this same your bet.
