In this reply to Stein, the author looks at psychoanalytic writing for the general public from the perspective of readers and writers with a special emphasis on encouraging early career professionals to do this work. He rebalances Stein’s emphasis on a reinvigorated psychoanalysis solving problems across domains by prioritizing a psychoanalysis that enriches experience. Using his own personal journey as psychoanalyst and writer as illustration, he describes writing as an authentic oscillation between one’s private thoughts and a conversation with readers, both imagined and actual. He concludes with a set or practical suggestions for how psychoanalysts can effectively write for the general public.
