Mr Ezequiel Resenite Alvarez

Psychoanalysis is a form of treatment that is fundamentally distinct from other psychotherapeutic approaches. Its focus lies in addressing the complexity of subjectivity, rather than facilitating the individual's adaptation to normative frameworks or pre-established diagnostic criteria. In the clinic, we do not aim at immediate symptom reduction or behavioral modification, but rather we approach psychic distress from the particular. Each person's unique history, desire, conflicts and modes of relationship are taken into account. Rather than imposing a normative conception of "mental health," psychoanalysis resists reinforcing socially constructed ideals of normality, psychopathology, or productivity. Nor is it a matter of correcting or adjusting the subject to idealized conceptions of wellbeing, but of creating a space where the specifics of each case are heard, to be located, questioned, deployed and elaborated. It is a form of treatment that is framed within its own time and that aims to produce changes that alleviate discomfort, based on the involvement in the analytical process. In an era dominated by the logic of efficiency, productivity, performance, and immediacy, psychoanalysis offers a radical alternative: the value of listening, the exploration of subjective suffering, and respect for the singularity of each individual.
