generally speaking, yeah; but the lacanian approach is 100% different from what we know as "therapy" here in 'merica. i mean fundamentally, from a theoretical point, it's a completely different animal, and so is the practical side of it. from what i understand, lacanian therapists (or more properly, analysts) never say a word and let the "analysand" do all the talking.
