ABSTRACT
A fourth strong warning against psychoanalysis comes in the form it takes when it is taught, and we should beware of the way that educational institutions reinforce rationalist models of the mind that look like psychoanalysis, but systematically distort what Freud and his followers were trying to describe. I will show you why I still avoided psychoanalytic clinical practice, after having discovered how efficiently it can be neutralised and absorbed into psychotherapeutic attempts to adapt people to society, adaptation of individuals that the university insidiously demands of us. Here is another reason I kept away from psychoanalysis for so long.
