Abstract
“The promised land of ΨA” is an expression that Sigmund Freud used in his letters to Carl Gustav Jung. Moses and his monotheism, the unknown place of his grave, and the idea of “the promised land” occupied Freud’s mind for many years, especially as far as analytic psychotherapy and science are concerned.
The dispensing with salvation and that with any mono-hegemony have brought psychoanalysis closer to its “promised land.” Unlike the deceptive idea that becoming a natural science would bring psychoanalysis to its own promised land, it is the dispensing with the Freudian authority as well as with any other harsh authority and mono-hegemony that has made psychoanalysis so vital, ample, rich, and still very promising.
