The Unconscious, with Willy Apollon (English Version)

This episode discusses the concept of the unconscious as the result of an experience under transference, understood in terms of the effects of the analyst's own experience of undergoing analysis. The episode also discusses what is at stake in feminine jouissance, non-neurotic psychic structures, the beautiful, and it concludes with a reflection on time.

Thanks to Steven Miller for reading the English translation for this version of the episode.
