This chapter discusses the returns of subjectivities and the exchanges, transductions, and implications of these returns, examining two “mute dreams” and views suffering as enfans. It then discusses Jean-François Lyotard's figure-form, age reversal, family therapy, and the three sites of deep play.
Keywords: return of subjectivities, implications, mute dreams, suffering, enfans, figure-form, age reversal, family therapy, deep play, Jean-François Lyotard
