i definitely want to check out the book! i like the confidence there with Dr Swales saying psychoanalysis is the best lol. i think so too

Dr. Swales is continuing Lacan's work of critisizing ego psychology and psychology in general (gene-real?) and it's as important as it has ever been! It is impressive how many psychotherapy schools seem to fear ambivalence, hate, violence, all of which we see everyday as an inherent part of humanity. Psychotherapy usually helps to forelose or disavow these so very human and problematic - but very intriuging because intrinsic to our lives and drives and motivations- focussing on empathy, the good in people, re-writing and enforcing the superego instead of analyzing it, confronting it, working with it. So- yes for more psychoanalysis , more psychoanalytic commentary.

oh and concering that last question: most beautifully answered by Swales because that IS THE essence of psychoanalysis: UN conscious, not knowing, Knot making, etc etc
