Hi
In this episode (the first in a series) Neil & Jared talk about the role of the analyst as a secretary of the unconscious and how this relates to the drive.
A general outline:
- This is take two (we tried to record earlier, but kids...)
- We talk about the role of the analyst and psychoanalysis as opposed to a psychotherapist/psychotherapy
- We talk about the unconscious as "a part of us that has a mind of its own" (again)
- The unconscious does not exist it insists
- The idea that if we shut down the unconscious we end up empowering the drive
- Freud's 1920 Beyond the Pleasure Principle and how it relates to the unconscious & the drive
- Jered uses the intervention of scansion to put an end to things
