Perhaps this is exactly the point.
Psychoanalysis is about the person.
Neither science nor myth. For better or for worse the unconscious will easily survive the anxious and circular attack of empiricists who would prefer to believe that only what can be scrutinized by the scientific method is real. The question is not the reality of the unconscious, but how it will be considered, respected, spoken about. How else to understand this than as an expression of will and power to oppose the uncertainty and liveliness of all in human experience that resists measurement, outcome studies, proofs of efficacy and other absurd conceits of our silly times.
