ABSTRACT

This article considers how psychotherapy might better serve disabled people and people with physical impairment. Psychotherapy stands accused of making things worse for people living with physical impairment. Exploration of the articulation by Freud and Lacan of the emergence of subjectivity reveals the reason for the distrust of the disability studies community. However, a call has been made for psychotherapy to reflect, reform and be of service. Aspects of psychotherapeutic philosophy stand ready to offer a meaningful response; phenomenology as elucidated by Heidegger, Levinas’ notions of alterity and the primacy of the other, and the unravelling of meta-narratives provided by post-modernism and post-structuralism. These aspects, together with the will to self-critique, offer a way of working that moves to an appropriate respect and service from psychotherapy for disabled people.

摘要

本文探讨心理治疗如何更好地为残疾人和身体有缺陷的人服务。心理治疗被指责让身体有缺陷的人的情况变得更糟。对弗洛伊德和拉康对主观性出现的阐述的探索揭示了残疾研究界不信任的原因。然而，人们呼吁心理治疗进行反思、改革和服务。心理治疗哲学的各个方面随时准备提供有意义的回应；海德格尔阐明的现象学、列维纳斯的相异性和他者至上的概念，以及后现代主义和后结构主义提供的元叙事的解析。这些方面，加上自我批评的意愿，
