This paper is a response to the article “On the Absence of a Presence/The Presence of an Absence: Psychoanalysis in the Turkish Context” written by Aydan Gülerce who is trying to understand the belatedness of psychoanalysis in Turkey. In order to grasp the spirit of the time, one needs more than historical knowledge. Psychoanalysis provides us a valuable sight to understand the unconscious motives beside conscious ones not only individually but also on the cultural base. Although the history of psychoanalysis in the Turkish context starts in the 1930's concurrent with the world, it took a while to create its own space. The efforts of first psychoanalysts in Turkey include both to establish institutional foundations of psychoanalysis and at the same time to understand the process they have started. Modernization period of Ottoman and Turkish Republic have powerful ongoing impact on the psyche of Turkish people and development of psychoanalysis in the region which deserves further interdisciplinary research. Non-clinicians who are trying to use psychoanalytic theory to explain their research subject not surprisingly always walk in to the traps of their own unconscious. Psychoanalysts have to improve their relationships with different cultural texts to prevent these subjective failures.
