Client subversions of DSM knowledge

Klossowski (1997) points us towards a view of human activity as involving a dynamic, never finalised relationship between the conservational tendencies of knowledge and the knowledge-destabilising tendencies of the human being. In this paper, I take a poststructural view of this relationship and consider its relevance for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). I argue that this system, with its earnest privileging of expert knowledges of the person, fails to honour precisely those subversive capacities that people rely upon to make their lives dynamic and meaningful.
