There are innumerable ways of recounting a life, and a childhood that may seem like a fraught love affair. Uniquely, psychoanalysis takes us to the core of how these accounts are told and retold. It is a cure that allows other spaces to arise, owes nothing to conformity and risks finding out the true desire of the person seeking treatment.
