Making mistakes and knowing when to change
"There is an age where you can force your nature sincerely and convice yourself, day after day, that you're following a necessary path when it leads you away from your deep wishes and makes you lose yourself. What is essential is to have enough energy left to change when the distance becomes suffering and you understand your mistake."
Psychoanalysis and subjectivity
"The psychoanalytic method, for all its faults, is the best method we have for dealing with all the shifting sands and subtle complexities of subjectivity. The single biggest mistake that's been made in brain science is to think that we can study the brain only as an object."
Mark Solms – IPA Congress, Prague, 2013
