Psychoanalysis

It seems that Mitchell is actually defending the interpretation of psychoanalysis for Freud against feminists. She claims that the words used to described psychoanalysis can be misinterpreted for today's modern language. When I read that section it really reminded me of the lecture about semiotics and how language today is different from the same language years ago. Mitchell also claims there are certain aspects which lose meaning into today's standard. (Oedipus Complex, hysteria) Psychoanalysis is continuously updated with the advances in science and technology. It seems that psychoanalysis evolves over time and culture greatly effects the theories behind it.
