dc.description.abstractOne test of the intellectual power of psychoanalysis is its capacity to serve as a corrective to what Freud called "wild" versions of itself. The remarkable Slovenian intellectual Slavoj Zizek’s Enjoy Your Symptom! opens with a joke at the expense of the sort of wild psychoanalysis which indiscriminately applies theoretical generalisations (in this instance around pansexualism) to every particular case. But for the purposes of introduction (and so as not to spoil the joke for prospective readers) it would be more appropriate to cite another Zizekian attempt to demonstrate the auto-corrective capacity of psychoanalytical thinking. In this case Freud himself is caught napping.
