Irrepressible Truth: On Lacan's 'The Freudian Thing' · Adrian Johnston · p.120
**6** > <span id="page-113-0"></span>**Resistance to the Resisters**
Theoretical move: Johnston argues that Lacan's "Resistance to the Resisters" advances a double critique: ego psychology's "analysis of defenses" both misreads resistance (treating it as an obstacle to be overcome rather than an expression of the unconscious) and coercively substitutes ideological "discourse of opinion" for analytic truth, thereby redoubling the analysand's alienation rather than dissolving it.
ego psychology is, for Lacan, just another 'discourse of opinion'… the assimilationism of this American 'immigrant psychology' trafcs broadly and deeply in the conformist bourgeois individualism of mid-twentieth-century Western capitalism
