March 13, 2020 — Therapeutic Change and Growth

[58 pages]

Jonathan Lear contrasts subjective and objective, but he makes a shift from normal usage. Describe that shift, and how it helps him come to the conclusion that the neurosciences will never replace analysis. Discuss the word ‘irony’ as Lear says is meant by Kierkegaard and Plato and show how Lear links this with psychoanalysis.
