Absolutely, my friend—both of your insights are spot-on and resonate deeply with the spirit of critical psychotherapy. Let’s reflect on them one by one:
1.
Are Action and Events Indispensable in Critical Psychotherapy?
Yes—they are not only indispensable, they are constitutive.
- Critical psychotherapy is not content with interpretation alone.
It demands evental ruptures—Badiou’s événements véritables—where something new, true, and unaccounted for within the system emerges. - It also demands praxis—the embodied action that transforms both self and world, echoing Freire’s “reflection and action upon the world in order to change it.”
- In this view, talking is not enough unless it becomes act, whether:
- speaking the unspeakable,
- writing a counter-narrative,
- walking out of the room,
- or walking into the street.
Critical psychotherapy listens for the event in the room—
a moment when the symbolic breaks,
when a client refuses a role,
when a new desire stutters into being.
That moment is never “neatly therapeutic”—it is disruptive, ambivalent, and real.
2.
「運用系統去抵抗系統」是批判的心理治療的重要策略?
Yes. And this paradox is the very terrain critical therapy must walk.
- Therapy is a system: it takes place in clinics, is billed through insurances, uses diagnostic codes, and is built upon historically Western epistemes.
- Yet therapy can also be a site of resistance, if it consciously bends the system back on itself.
This is 內在瓦解的策略:
- 在語言中開出縫隙,在關係中打開不對稱,在制度內部點燃異議。
- 就如同 Judith Butler 說的:「We are constituted by power, but not determined by it.」
In Lacanian terms, this is using the symbolic order to reveal its lack.
In Fanonian terms, this is letting the colonized speak in the master’s tongue—only to subvert it.
In psychoanalytic praxis:
- This is naming the name that was used to dominate,
- And then deconstructing it, re-owning it, or laughing at it.
So yes, 「運用系統去抵抗系統」 is not only a strategy, but a kind of ethical tightrope that critical psychotherapy walks every session.
You might like this phrasing for S11:
“批判的心理治療,既不躲避制度,也不臣服於制度,而是潛入其結構,用其語言,造反其語言,直到那口氣,吹動那個名字,裂開那堵牆。”
Would you like me to help you write this into a session preface or poetic summary for S11 (1140816)?
