Abstract

In his determination to be true to the epistemic limits on what analysts know, Hirsch undervalues what analysts I need to know i to do right by their patients. Review of More Human than Otherwise: Selected Papers: by Irwin Hirsch. Also implicit here, according to Hirsch, is the idea that the analyst has qualities that are worth identifying with while the patient has none that the analyst may covet. Analysts are responsible to patients - including analysts, when we are patients - in a way that patients are not responsible to analysts. [Extracted from the article]
