Abstract:This essay examines how philosopher Catherine Malabou's concept of destructive plasticity impacts the situation of contemporary psychoanalytic theory. My argument is that Malabou envisions the life in death of psychoanalysis in its relation to neuroscience, where psychoanalysis's new beginnings are won at the price of its near total doctrinal destruction.
