“In her recent book [2008] Why Psychoanalysis?, Alenka Zupančič argues that the task of psychoanalysis is precisely analysis, separation — and never synthesis. We come to analysis due to the fall-out of a failed synthesis, and the goal of analysis is not to produce a (more) successful one, but to get us to give up on the synthesis altogether, to let the gap be the gap. The goal is not to finally and definitively interpret that analysand’s unconscious, to extract all their drives and translate them into the realm of the Symbolic or big Other, but to get them to give up on meaning, to recognize the meaningless core.” ~ / ~ OM Adam Kotsko on “Why Psychoanalysis?” you can read the full article on the link below https://itself.wordpress/2013/06/21/balance-and-imbalance/#more-11448
