GONZALEZ, José Luis. A contribution on Psychoanalysis and Medicine by Jacques Lacan. Anu. investig. [online]. 2011, vol.18, pp.61-67. ISSN 1851-1686.

The present work is part of a bigger investigation project about the contributions of J. Lacan's Teaching on drug abuse subject. The contribution refers to Medicine and Psychoanalysis, 1966. It develops the way that the author characterizes the contemporary life marked by what he calls the universalization and the role of science and market's laws in this process. The drug abuse can not be treated as a police subject any more, but as another way of jouissance that shows the excess caused by the scientific development. This imposes the doctor to take an ethical position and also to include in his practice categories from the psychoanalysis such as demand and desire and the conception of the body, as body of jouissance.

Palabras clave : Psychoanalysis; Medicine; Drug Abuse; Science; Jouissance.
