Description: Since the late 1950s, in our culture of narcissism, psychoanalysis, like the wider society, has been evading guilt. In order to fulfill its therapeutic potential, psychoanalysis must reverse Freud’s 1923 decision to fold conscience into superego. It must recognize the biologically grounded conscience and its capacity to call out the socially internalized and culturally relative superego.
