schizoanalysis

is concerned, on the one hand, with the destruction of the expressive pseudo-forms of the unconscious, and on the other, with desire's unconscious investments of the social field.

Our definition of schizoanalysis focused on two aspects: the destruction of the expressive pseudo-forms of the unconscious, and the discovery of desire's unconscious investments of the social field. It is from this point of view that we must consider many primitive cures... they are schizo-analysis in action' (D&G 1975b:170)

 (in contrast to psychoanalysis which begins with the symbolic), begins with the real as the immanent process of desire and seeks to mark both the interruptions of this process (reterritorializations) and its continuations and transformations (becomings, intensities).

Put crudely, psychoanalysis begins with the symbolic and seeks out the 'gaps' that mark the irruption of an 'impossible' Real... whereas schizoanalysis starts with the Real as the immanent process of desire and seeks to mark both the interruptions of this process (reterritorializations) and its continuations and transformations (becomings, intensities. . . ).' (Smith,D 2004:646).
