This review sets out the importance of a special issue of Umbr(a) #1, 1998, on 'Identity and Identification' from the Center for Psychoanalysis and Culture at SUNY, Buffalo for students of law, management, and business.
It explains how a Lacanian theory of the subject can make it possible to manage in a 'psychoanalytically informed manner' by making a case for incorporating the insights of Lacanian psychoanalysis in the mainstream professions.

Directing the Attention
We might begin by stressing the distinction between a "scientistic" and a
"dramatistic" approach to the nature of language. A "scientistic" approach
begins with questions of naming, or definition. Or the power of language to
define and describe may be viewed as derivative; and its essential function
may be treated as attitudinal or hortatory: attitudinal as with expressions of
complaint, fear, gratitude, and such; hortatory as with commands or
requests, or, in general, an instrument developed through its use in the social
processes of cooperation and competition. I say "developed"; I do not say
"originating." The ultimate origins of language seem to me as mysterious as
the origins of the universe itself. One must view it, I feel, simply as the
"given." But once an animal comes into being that does happen to have this
particular aptitude, the various tribal idioms are unquestionably developed
by their use as instruments in the tribe's way of living (the practical role of
symbolism in what the anthropologist, Malinowski, has called "context of
situation"). Such considerations are involved in what 1 mean by the
"dramatistic," stressing language as an aspect of "action," that is, as
"symbolic action."
The two approaches, the "scientistic" and the "dramatistic" (language
as definition, and language as act) are by no means mutually exclusive.
Since both approaches have their proper uses, the distinction is not being
introduced invidiously. Definition itself is a symbolic act, just as my
proposing of this very distinction is a symbolic act. But though at this
moment of beginning, the overlap is considerable, later the two roads
diverge considerably, and direct our attention to quite different kinds of
observation. The quickest way to indicate the differences of direction might
be by this formula: The "scientistic" approach builds the edifice of language
with primary stress upon a proposition such as "It is, or it is not." The
"dramatistic" approach puts the primary stress upon such hortatory
expressions as "thou shalt, or thou shalt not." And at the other extreme the
distinction be-

comes quite obvious, since the scientistic approach culminates in the kinds
of speculation we associate with symbolic logic,
while the dramatisdc culminates in the kinds of speculation that
find their handiest material in stories, plays, poems, the rhetoric of oratory
and advertising, mythologies, theologies, and philosophies
after the classic model.
The dramatistic view of language, in terms of
"symbolic action," is exercised about the necessarily suasive
nature of even the most unemotional scientific nomenclatures. And we shall
proceed along those lines; thus:
Even if any given terminology is a reflection of reality, by its very
nature as a terminology it must be a selection of reality; and to th.
The Eureka Moment: Or, Who Speaks in the Case Method?iosrjce
What is the theoretical rationalefor the case method given its excessive dependence on speech as the
main mode of instruction and learning? This paper argues that the problem of speech has not been adequately
understood in the business school classroom. This is because the term ‘speech’ subsumes both ‘intentional’
speech and the ‘sense of being spoken’ through the ‘desire of the Other.’ The former relates to a situation where
the speaker knows what he is going to say and then goes on to say it. The latter relates to a situation where the
speaker finds that he is saying something more or something less than what he consciously intended to say. It
could also be the case that he winds up saying something Other than what he consciously intended to say. In
other words, there is a difference between articulation and reconstructing the intentionbehind the articulation in
an act of speech. This is the main reason why both instructors and students are afraid to ‘let-go’ in the case
method of instruction. In order to understand this form of resistance and what must be done to come to terms
with it; and find ways to engage successfully with the case method despite it, we must invoke the Lacanian
formulationson the relationship between language and desire that constitute the psychoanalytic model of the
unconscious. These insights relate to the formulations which argue that the unconscious is not only ‘structured
like a language,’ but is also an expression of the ‘desire of the Other.’ These formulations from the
psychoanalytic doctrine of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan then are what will make it possible to make
sense of the resistance to the problem of speech in the classroom. Though this paper focuses on the case method
as understood in business schools modelled on the Harvard Business School, it should be possible to apply these
insights, by implication, in the context of legal education as well.
These clinical notes explain the role played by conflicts as a causative factor in the psychoneuroses and war neuroses in Freudian psychoanalysis.
The Freudian theory of conflict, I argue, is useful not only to clinicians, but also to central bankers who are trying to formulate a theory of stability and stabilization.
What psychoanalysis makes available for these central bankers is a formal theory of the subject that incorporates the structure and function of the unconscious.
It also explains the macro-economy of the symptom given that clinicians have a lot of exposure to neurotic forms of instability.
The main wager in these clinical notes is that it will make possible a theoretical discussion between psychoanalysts and financial analysts in order to develop a comprehensive theory of stability.

These clinical notes describe the differences between the 'desire of the subject' and the 'desire of the symbolic Other' in Lacanian psychoanalysis by inverting the conventional subject-object distinction within a theory of the subject.
The theoretical goal here is to identify the forms of libidinal excess that are generated in the act of speech in analysis; and then relate this excess to a theory of stability.
Such an exercise should be of interest to central bankers like Mark Carney of the Bank of England who must not only work out a theory of stability; but must also ponder on the ontological differences between stability at the levels of the individual, the institution, and the macro-economy as a whole.
These ontological differences matter, I argue, lest central bankers forget the importance of the 'fallacy of composition' in economic theory. This fallacy cautions us to avoid the conflation of micro-economic phenomena with macro-economic aggregates while doing economic theory.
These notes also draw a compelling analogy between the forms of libidinal regulation that characterizes clinical interventions in Lacanian psychoanalysis with the role played by counter-cyclical policies in monetary theory and practice in the attempt to regulate interest rates by central bankers.
The burden of the argument here is to show that while the stabilization of systemically important stakeholders in necessary, it is not sufficient. What is required are regulatory mechanisms that will serve a protective function (even if stakeholders act out their conflicts in the symbolic) like circuit breakers that regulate trading in stock exchanges.
These notes conclude by describing psychic mechanisms like 'alienation, separation, and traversing the phantasy' that constitute not only the Lacanian theory of the subject, but also the clinical trajectory that represents the end of analysis.
These notes should be useful not only to clinicians but also to those interested in formulating a theory of stability that is informed by the ideological concerns and clinical themes of Lacanian psychoanalysis.
Needless to say, these notes on the need for a psychoanalytic approach to stability are dedicated - for what they are worth - to Gov. Mark Carney of the Bank of England.

These clinical notes summarize the main points raised by the Lacanian analyst Robert Samuels on the question of analytic technique.
These clinical notes should make it possible for both beginners and clinicians to relate Freudian concepts with Lacanian terms like the real, the imaginary, and the symbolic more effectively.

This review essay on Sigmund Freud's 'Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego' describes how an understanding of psychoanalysis can further the reader's ability to situate and intervene in the context of group dynamics.
It lists the differences between individual and group psychology before describing the dangers of crowds and the contagion effect before setting out the structure and forms of identification between members in groups.
The main argument in the essay is that groups should guard against regression to more primitive forms of organizational life that Freud characterized as crowds and herds that are subject to the contagion effect.
In instances of such regression, groups will be able to repair themselves more effectively if they are psychoanalytically informed.
That is why this review essay on Freudian psychoanalysis is aimed at not only analysts but to an audience of bankers, economists, and social scientists.

This book review explores the relationship between psychoanalysis and history.
It makes a case for why historians should be interested in psychoanalysis; and explains why the quest for freedom as an existential or historical state is mediated by negation in the Freudian theory of subjectivity.
This review should be of interest to historians, psychoanalysts, and students of the human sciences.

This book review describes the theoretical challenges involved in incorporating the Lacanian model of the subject within mainstream American ego psychology (given the huge amount of philosophical knowledge that Lacan assumes in his readers).
It will be of use to clinicians, literary critics, and philosophers who want to engage with Lacanian theory and practice.
This paper analyzes what Sigmund Freud was trying to do both as an an analyst and as a writer in his autobiography of 1925. It describes Freud's compositional ratio, fantasies in writing about psychoanalysis, early life, the Freudian clinic, the Freudian subject, and concludes that reading Freud is still the best way to learn psychoanalysis.

These clinical notes describe the main points raised by Jacques-Alain Miller of the University of Paris VIII in the first Paris/Chicago psychoanalytic workshop on the analytic cure on July 25, 1986.
Miller starts by addressing common misconceptions about Lacanian theory and practice before explaining the structure, the techniques, and the forms of interpretation that constitute the analytic clinic.
Miller concludes by explaining why the definition of the analytic cure is not reducible to the biological model of adaptation or the invocation of borderline categories. The most important challenge of psychoanalysis will always be to explain hysteria.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

CLINICAL NOTES
ON THE LACANIAN SUBJECT
Brue Fink (1995). ‘The Lacanian Subject,’ The Lacanian Subject: Between Language and
Jouissance (Princeton: Princeton University Press), pp. 33-48.
The term ‘subject’ can be found everywhere in the work of Jacques Lacan – that
however does not make the term any easier to define than any of the other terms in
his lexicon.
Bruce Fink attempts to identify at least a few of the attributes of this term in order to
put it to use in the Lacanian clinic.
These clinical notes will identify the main points and then summarize the arguments
that Fink comes up with in his discussion of the Lacanian subject.
Since Lacan was fond of saying that the meaning of his terms should be understood
topologically – i.e. in relation to each other, it is a good idea to invoke a semantic
field in order to situate what he means by the term ‘subject.’
This is all the more important because most of his contemporaries in the structuralist
approach to the human sciences in the French academy were trying to do without
this term.
The terms that can be included in the semantic field to make sense of the subject
would include ego, unconscious, individual, patient, and object.
The first thing to note then is that the subject doesn’t stand alone; instead it is to be
conceived of as forging a relationship with the symbolic Other to which it is subject
in the sense of being subjected to something bigger or superior. It can also be
understood as a ‘position adopted with respect to the Other as language or law.’
2. 2
The main difference between the ego and the subject is that the ego is located in the
order of the imaginary whereas the subject is situated in the order of the symbolic.
In addition to language and the law, the subject is also affected by the desire of the
Other and the jouissance of the Other.
The analytic process is an attempt to explore the different ways in which the
Lacanian subject is affected by that which emerges in the locus of the Other.
The encounter with the desire of the Other is difficult for the subject to metabolize;
there is therefore a need to invoke a ‘fantasy’ to mediate the approach to the desire
of the Other.
This fantasy makes the room available for the subject to ‘subjectify’ (i.e. domesticate)
the desire of the Other and make it his own.
This is important for the subject – otherwise it will lead to the generation of
symptoms due to the affects induced in the subject by the desire or the jouissance of
the Other.
These then are some of the main attributes of the subject.
When Bruce Fink compares the term ‘subject’ with those in the semantic field that I
have invoked above, he comes to the following conclusions.
The subject must not be conflated with the term ‘individual’ that is invoked in
analytic philosophy or with terms like ‘patient’ or ‘client’ used in medicine and
psychotherapy.
The main assumption in the use of the terms listed above is that the most important
feature of individuals, patients, and clients is that they are characterized by the
mental attribute of ‘consciousness.’
Lacan however uses the term ‘subject’ to refer to the function of the unconscious
rather than consciousness per se.
Furthermore, the subject is not a collection of images of the self as is the case with the
ego of consciousness.
The subject is not the response to the mirror phase in which the child assumes an
image or ideals as his own; it is rather that which resists the assumption of this
image or ideals in its entirety.
Lacan depicts the ego as having not only a propensity to libidinal fixation, but as
that which takes images, ideals, and descriptions in the ‘literal’ sense without
realizing that the meaning of a word is specific to a context.
3. 3
That is why the subject must not be conflated with the ego of the statement rather
than with that which disrupts its structure. This is because Jacques Lacan identifies
the subject with the pulsative function of the unconscious.
The appearance of the subject is accompanied by its immediate disappearance.
There is something ‘fleeting’ about the subject. It emerges, as Fink puts it, as a
‘breach in discourse.’ It is akin to something that ‘surges forth’ in discourse.
These metaphors then are variations of what Sigmund Freud referred to as the
‘upward drive’ of the unconscious during the act of free-association or when the
subject is asleep.
This upward drive of the unconscious makes use of the residues of the day, connects
them to a childhood wish, and thereby constructs a dream that makes it possible for
the subject to sleep.
Or, to put it simply, the subject is not to be conflated with the ‘chain of signification,’
but with that which emerges in the ‘breach’ or the gap within the chain of
signification.
As Finks explains: ‘there is nothing substantial about this subject; it has no being, no
substratum or permanence in time, in short nothing that we are accustomed to look
for when speaking of subjects.’
The Lacanian subject then is not a substantive entity, but the split within which we
might want to posit such an entity; in Bruce Fink’s conclusion, ‘the subject is nothing
but this very split.’
