Abstract

Within the core of capitalist discourse, some contemporary symptoms, anorexia and drug addiction, are taken into consideration from the clinic of the real. This is a new lacanianoriented clinic in psychoanalysis that takes over from the clinic of the symbolic, which has essentially been Freud’s clinic, exceeding the limits in the era of hypermodernity. Drug addict’s pressure to consume the object drug contrasts with a radical negative of the anorexic persons who consume themselves.
