Lacanian psychoanalysis and phenomenological psychopathology offer promising alternatives to mainstream approaches to diagnosing and treating psychosis. Yet tentative attempts by one to engage the other typically result in the subsumption of the rival perspective, effectively silencing productive dialogue between the two approaches. This non-dialogue—or “non-relation” in Lacanian terms—has long plagued the phenomenology-psychoanalysis dynamic. To illustrate, I critique Louis Sass’s phenomenological reading of Lacan. Reading Lacanian psychoanalysis as phenomenology evacuates it of the radically social symbolic register and dilutes the critical edge of both approaches—a disservice to the already underserved population experiencing psychosis.
