Presentation on Psychical Causality > Presentation on Transference
Theoretical move: Lacan recasts the Dora case as a dialectical progression of truth-reversals to argue that transference is not a psychological mechanism but an irreducible subject-to-subject relation, and that the analyst's interpretive act constitutes so-called "negative transference" — a move that simultaneously grounds psychoanalysis as a dialectical experience and warns against its reduction to objectifying psychologism.
in short, a homo psychologicus, the danger of which I am warning you against.
