However, if these [psychoanalytic consulting rooms] offer a special form of jouissance for their participants, both analysand and psychoanalyst know the price they must pay for this secret bliss. They suffer the persecutory anxiety of being seen to participate in some form of soon-to-be banished, forbidden activity. And in spite of all the efforts to sanitise the appearances of psychoanalysis through verbal dry-cleanings—“evidence-based practice” or “competencies”—the psychoanalyst is still regarded as someone dripping of the unseemly. He is still the Freudian, hanging out with sexuality and aggression; still the figure who encourages discussion of that which culture insists should be forbidden. - Christopher Bollas, “The Wisdom of the Dream”
