The conversation dealt with the history of Polish psychoanalysis (or rather, its 'white spots'), being inseparably associated with the political history; it also touched upon European psychoanalysis and the features differentiating it from American psychoanalysis. The authoress of a book on Lacan told a story about her fascination with that particular psychoanalyst and on her dislike toward 'Lacanists' themselves. She also expressed her own position toward our contemporary status of psychoanalysis as a consequence of social disillusionment with this area: people would expect that a promise of rendering them free of a symptom be fulfilled instantaneously, yet tend to forget about their own subject which the analysis is in fact all about. It is true that psychoanalysis has changed over the hundred-or-so years' period, as the world has since the time of Freud. However, as Roudinesco puts it, we do need psychoanalysis all the more.
