Abstract
In the introduction to Kristeva’s short collection of essays (61 pages), Kernberg argues that Kristeva’s latest work represents a "disengagement from her theoretical background" and an effort to distance herself from the teachings of Lacan; Kristeva, on the other hand, defendspsychoanalytic practice in general and disagrees explicitly with Lacan only once when she argues that Catholics are not “unanalyzable."
