Abstract

This contribution advocates for the clarity and accessibility of psychoanalytic writing and public communications. Reflecting on her own experience as a clinician and a reader, the author argues that the excessive use of jargon contributes to a musty air of impenetrability and partly accounts for the marginalization of psychoanalysis within the current mental health landscape.
