Psychoanalysis Quotes

Psychoanalysis was from the start, still is, and perhaps always will be a well-constituted church and a form of treatment based on a set of beliefs that only the very faithful could adhere to, i. e., those who believe in a security that amounts to being lost in the herd and defined in terms of common and external goals Gilles Deleuze
Psychoanalysis provides truth in an infantile, that is, a schoolboy fashion: we learn from it, roughly and hurriedly, things that scandalize us and thereby command our attention. It sometimes happens, and such is the case here, that a simplification touching upon the truth, but cheaply, is of no more value than a lie. Once again we are shown the demon and the angel, the beast and the god locked in Manichean embrace, and once again man has been pronounced, by himself, not culpable. Stanislaw Lem
Psychoanalysis has taught that the dead? a dead parent, for example? can be more alive for us, more powerful, more scary, than the living. It is the question of ghosts. Jacques Derrida
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "Psychoanalysis is confession without absolution."
Psychoanalysis is confession without absolution. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Psychoanalysis is a science conducted by lunatics for lunatics. They are generally concerned with proving that people are irresponsible; and they certainly succeed in proving that some people are Gilbert K. Chesterton
Germaine Greer quote: "Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution."
Psychoanalysis is the confession without absolution. Germaine Greer
Psychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it. Bette Davis
David Herbert Lawrence quote: "Psychoanalysis is out, under a therapeutic disguise, to do..."
Psychoanalysis is out, under a therapeutic disguise, to do away entirely with the moral faculty in man. David Herbert Lawrence
Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it. Jacques Lacan
Karl Kraus quote: "Psychoanalysis is that mental illness for which it regards..."
Psychoanalysis is that mental illness for which it regards itself as therapy. Karl Kraus
Psychoanalysis pretends to investigate the Unconscious. The Unconscious by definition is what you are not conscious of. But the Analysts already know what's in it - they should, because they put it all in beforehand. Saul Bellow
Can you tell me in one sentence what is meant by logotherapy?" he asked. "At least, what is the difference between psychoanalysis and logotherapy?" "Yes," I said, "but in the first place, can you tell me in one sentence what you think the essence of psychoanalysis is?" This was his answer: "During psychoanalysis, the patient must lie down on a couch and tell you things which sometimes are very disagreeable to tell." Whereupon I immediately retorted with the following improvisation: "Now, in... Viktor E. Frankl
Erich Fromm quote: "Today the function of psychiatry, psychology and..."
Today the function of psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis threatens to become the tool in the manipulation of man. Erich Fromm
The great discovery of psychoanalysis was that of the production of desire, of the production of the unconscious. But once Oedipus entered the picture, the discovery was soon buried beneath the new brand of idealism: a classical theater was substituted for the unconscious as a factory: representation was substituted for the units of production of the unconscious; and an unconscious that was capable of nothing but expressing itself? in myth, tragedy, dreams? was substituted for the productive... Gilles Deleuze
It is true that the subliminal in man is the largest part of his nature and has in it the secret of the unseeen dynamisms which explain his surface activities. But the lower vital subconscious which is all that this psycho-analysis of Freud seems to know, - and of that it knows only a few ill-lit corners, - is no more than a restricted and very inferior portion of the subliminal whole... to begin by opening up the lower subconscious, risking to raise up all that is foul or obscure in it, is... Sri Aurobindo
