This research note discusses how we can use a culturalpsychological perspective to recount the clinical/local problem. The premise of this discussion is that we as an autonomous research community are able to start from a practice of psychotherapy. To restate this problem, we are not to return to any traditional discourse of the Chinese but to start anew from the modernized Chinese, and by this way we come across a problem of the presence of the self. From the point of view of cultural psychopathology, contemporary Chinese speaking world is a world of aphasia and neologism, and its basic problem is a difficult problem of speaking of things and how its meaning comes about. A clinical practice is usually a practice of empirical observations. This objective psychology largely overlooks how the human persons exist in a face-to-face way and how their co-presence is a mutual interpenetration of being. Thus comes the deconstruction of the observation method. When we are now speaking for the locally presenting self, we speak in two orders: the speakingout and the attention of how we speak back. The cultural happening becomes the cultural theorization at the same time. The problem of aphasia is now a neologism on the way. Two cases of this way-faring is presented here to illustrate how the two basic words “self” and “object” are being spoken out. The two cases look similar in a certain practice to psychoanalysis, yet they are not quite so. In what psychology are we to account for them? |
