Is the future Freudian?

Abstract

Is the future Freudian? Or are we going to witness the dismantling of psychoanalysis in favor of discourses that will bear only an etiolated relationship to the foundational texts of Sigmund Freud? And, most importantly, has the very success of psychoanalysis been its failure? Has the percolation of psychoanalysis into the cultural unconscious made it impossible as a form of therapy? What must Freudians do to render psychoanalysis into the radical practice that it once was?
