Psychoanalysis and the I-Thou Relation

"Psychoanalysis and the I-Thou Relation" 

Jonathan Lear, John U. Nef Distinguished Service Professor, Committee on Social Thought, Philosophy, University of Chicago. University of Chicago philosopher Jonathan Lear argues that to understand what psychoanalysis is – as well as its ethical significance – one needs to understand the psychoanalytic situation. And that situation needs to be understood in terms of an I-Thou relationship. As does a person’s relationship to his or her own unconscious.
