EXRE Colloquium

Expressive Limitations on Patients in Psychoanalysis: A View from the Philosophy of Language

AbstractPsychoanalysis is usually thought of as a contextin which people who are patients have the maximum amount of expressive freedom. One way of thinkingof the fundamental rule of psychoanalysis, the injunction to free association, is as the throwing o� limitations on self-expression. But I argue that, somewhat surprisingly, psychoanalysis in general, andfree association in particular, bring their own forms of expressive limitations. I consider a few di�erent ways of understanding free association through the lenses of speech act theory and Gricean conversational analysis to highlight these limitations that patients must struggle with, and against.
