A SCYTHE STROKE ON A STONE: EVOLUTIONARY LIMITATIONS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS
The article discovers and demonstrates an important evolutionary reason, which made psychoanalysis unable to realize its own main goals. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, could not be aware of the extent, to which people are prone to creating multiple delusions - as well as that such a phenomenon cannot be fully extirpated. Thus, a full psychoanalytic working over of the suppressed unconscious material became hardly possible. Consequently, the modern psychotherapeutic methods (including psychodynamics) provide only with palliative approach, aiming at symptoms relief, and do not declare the possibility of the patient’s cure.
