Episode notes
i think plenty of psychoanalysis actually helps people. It turns out that it's superdifficult to figure out how to test therapies against therapies. The fact that somebody is sitting there and talking to you two days out of week for five years, maybe that just turns on whether your therapist is good or not. But so that's interesting, because if you then say, well, it's not falsifiable in the way that clinical trials are, that wouldn't even be something that you could ever achieve.
