Tony Hughes - A Borromean Approach to the Transmission of Psychoanalysis
 
How does access to subjective singularity have the unanticipated outcome that it becomes difficult or impossible to work as a member of the psychoanalytic group? This paper takes Freud’s group, Lacan’s Borromean knot, and the theories of Chaos and Dissipation, to suggest that the difficulty of the analytic group can be overcome through understanding how these theories support the work of the cartel so that the impossible challenge of the analytic group can be addressed.
