Abstract:
From the Lacanian interpretation that the rise of scientific discourse produced a change in the physician’s position, the effects of the establishment of evidence-based as a paradigm for medical practice are examined. If the statistical inference exemplifies the convergence between mathematization and objectivity, an example related to the practice in a Sexual Differentiation Disorders clinic is used to question the impasses related to the designation of sex in these cases. It is intended to highlight the difference between the praxis of psychoanalysis and the medical approach that is oriented towards universalization, thus placing its limits related to the real of sex.
