Pandemia – Isaac Tylim

In Greek mythology Pan is the god of wild nature. It represents the idealization of primitive states prior to the advent of civilization. Part human, part animal, Pan’s horns evoke the figure of Satan, and resides in another country named Arcadia
Pandemic is a disease prevalent throughout the world. It may lead to pandemonium, a lawlessness state, chaos. It is the capital of Hell.
Pandemia has infected the psychoanalytic frame. The boundaries between external and internal reality have become porous., and remote work has emerged as a defense against transmission, and as a parameter to provide continuity of care. In this regard, walls that once had shield external reality from the clinical realm had to come down.
To the common concern that a techno virus could infect cyberspace, we must add the threat of bio virus. Now more than ever we depend on technology to connect safely. Disembodied connections permit practices to go on from spaces other than offices.
The Argentinean psychoanalyst Janine Pugett has written extensively on the
subject of overlapping worlds in sessions. She believes that the logic
of the internal world differs from the logic of external reality. The
analyst must accept this difference while at the same time being able to bring
down walls that separate them. Rather than revisiting the pass via associative process, facing reality – be it Corona virus or the virus of systematic racism- analysts and analysand must co-create a new past based on present connectivity. Under these circumstances analysts are bound to become a link that allows internal reality to cohabit with the vicissitudes of the socio-political world/.
