[The-Lacanalyst] test 123

Mon Sep 29 20:44:28 UTC 2025

FYI: Discussing whether or not one can put up a shingle and start offering
psychoanalysis without the specifics-state license to provide mental health
services is futile for me since it's been a conversation that I have been
involved in here since 1993. Just to remind everyone - each state issues
these licenses and there is no one national licensure entity. So -
personally, this is a futile conversation for me since nothing took place
in the US that has changed this conversation. And - we can not talk about
it as in "the US," but in each individual state. No interest on my part to
contribute to this. It will continue to be each and every person's
individual choice to practice or not (and either way, I recommend a good
lawyer. I have liability insurance because this isn't the EU, this is the
wild west).

I am somewhat interested in a conversation about why American
Psychoanalytic Circles continue to reject Lacan as a viable clinical
approach and is there something to be done about this, why variable session
is foreign and unacceptable to Americans (even though the 50 / 60 min is a
self-imposed standard in all mental health), and how to possibly reconcile
the risks when stepping outside of the "bureaucratic" lines that limits the
freedoms of mental health practice (of any kind) in the US. Happy to engage
in that seide of this conversation (in whatever format / forum it makes
sense with this group(ing) of folks and interests. So - for example, Aviva,
you should have no issue calling yourself a psychoanalyst, but I would be
curious how you / anyone would handle variable length sessions as an
LMFT(or licensed whatever...).

Also - I can't make Thursday mornings for as long as I work for USC (and
since over 60 people are involved in these meetings, it is unlikely to be
moved to a different time anytime soon). Keeping an eye on other times,
though.

Cheers
Kristopher
