CONSTRUCTING THE PHANTASM, Foundations of Psychoanalysis
PAULA HOCHMAN VAPPEREAU
Construction in analysis is construction of the phantasm, which allows for making sense of symptoms and their implications for the subject. It is in the phantasm as axiom that the subject identifies with the cause of his/her desire, not as a simple equivalence, but rather in the operations of alienation and separation.
