“In all times there are different forms of suffering. Although the diagnoses proliferate, it is not easy to discern what happens to subjects”, says the author. In this book, the Argentine psychoanalyst addresses the question of diagnosis, where the act of judging is inj stake. This act, which is neither universal, nor automatic, is central to the clinical practice. Scheinkestel considers the diagnosis in psychoanalysis, as the art of assembling the particular and the general at the same time.
