4． Is it really “psychoanalytic” to discuss various therapeutic action some of which are not conventionally psychoanalytic.
→ it might be OK so long as we use
psychoanalytic terms as our “mother tongue”. We might
consider that interpretation has less potential than what Freud considered. Or,
unconscious has a different connotation from what Freud considered. These
statements are still psychoanalytic so long as we still use these terminologies
as key words with their fruitful implications.
2. 5．Therapeutic goal from a
perspective of neuroscience.
It is the modification of unconscious associative networks which induces the
change in problematic defence system, emotional response and dysfunctional
relational patters. There is another goal, which is to alter conscious patterns
of thought, feeling, motivation and affect regulation (Gabbard, Westen, p.827).
3. 6． We should
acknowledge that is was Freud’s 1914 paper “Remembrance,
Repetition and Working through” which first gave the idea of this unconscious associative
networks, as he clearly stated that it is our unconsciously mobilized action
which is to be looked into and find out its hidden motivations.
