Many critics argue that Melanie Klein and Jacques Lacan belong to different psychoanalytic groups. However, they share some ideas in analytic technique and interpretation. This paper explores how both Klein and Lacan converse with each other in the issues of aggression and language: these aspects can be observed through Klein’s analysis of a schizophrenic patient Dick and Lacan’s reinterpretation of it.
Both Klein and Lacan stress the importance of the object in the formation of the ego: they argue that a baby is totally dependent on an object that is not itself or part of itself, but is another’s and part of the other. They also view aggression and negativity as the primary emotions in child"s ego development: As shown in Dick’s case, Klein asserts that children want to possess the mother’s body and to destroy her by means of every weapon that sadism can command. The aggressive fantasies directed against the inside of her body constitute the basic relation to the outside world. Influenced by Klein, Lacan argues for “the subject’s own voracious aggression” over a mother’s body.
Both Klein and Lacan emphasize the role of language in the analysis of a patient’s unconsciousness. For Klein, as for Lacan, one’s own trauma and destiny are cured by the power of language. Lacan argues that speech is the only tool that the analyst has; therefore, any analyst who does not understand the way speech and language work does not understand psychoanalysis itself. Even though Klein does not spell it out in theory, she emphasizes the importance of words to understand the analysand’s unconsciousness. Klein’s success in treating Dick, as Lacan points out, lies in propelling him into language. In spite of many different ideas on subjectivity and unconsciousness, Klein and Lacan share common ground in their ideas of aggression and language.
