Abstract

In response to J. H. Golland's (2005) comment, this reply emphasizes that the critiqued article's point is not clinical but about the process of identity formation in Generation X. It is argued that psychoanalysis deals with human experience, which is essentially historical. It can therefore well be that, given the rapid historical changes, central psychoanalytic notions, both theoretical and clinical, need to be reassessed if psychoanalysis is to face the challenge of rapid historical developments.
