On the basis of a brief historical survey on the use of psychotropic substances and their complex electrochemical information, this workshop will address the goal of freedom of choice in the biochemical reshaping of the self. Mood, madness, and anxiety are the three targets of chemical neuromodulation undercutting diagnostics and personal specificity. In a future shaped by cybernetic, neuroplastic, and interconnected models of the mind, can there be a liberationist auto-psychopharmacology?

Inherent in Jacques Lacan’s Founding Act of June 21, 1964 is the reality that the relationship between leader and group is a permanent problem. Within his innovation, Lacan highlighted a possible way to forge one’s own way rather than become a disciple who follows a master. This is the onerous and creative task faced by those who have the desire to pass the baton that Freud first wielded.
