“…We agree with other authors that the symbol ∆ in Bohr's arguments denotes some unspecified measure of width whose nature (classical or quantum) is not clearly stated. This ambiguity is typical of Bohr's confusing argumentation style [10] that was tolerated because of his (deserved) authority. For this reason his argument still "raises many questions which have never been satisfactorily answered" [11].…”

“…They are not part of a wider university culture that, despite its many faults, at least rests on some wider protocols and accountability structures. Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr had fundamental disagreements about the nature of physics—general relativity versus quantum theory—as evidenced in the journals during the 1920s and 1930s (Whitaker, 1996). Yet their fulsome were different in kind from what was happening in the flourishing British Psychoanalytic Society over the same period of the 1920s.…”

Both conceptual and institutional problems permeate psychoanalytic institutes. Although institutional problems are historically based, they also derive from confusions around ill-defined concepts that lead to arbitrariness, authoritarianism, and the stifling of creativity. Psychoanalysis is a humanistic discipline that is touted as a science but is organized as a religion. Problems surrounding the right to train pervade psychoanalytic schisms, and transmission comes through processes of anointment. Institutional "false expertise" invokes the aura of anointment where training analysts pass down received truth through an esoteric pipeline depending on genealogy instead of function. Quasireligious thinking and politics rush in to fill the gap between the level of claimed knowledge that affords qualification and the far lower level of real knowledge. Institutes should rely on evidence of candidates' performance and engage in open-ended inquiry. Psychoanalysis has fallen on hard times. Analytic practice has declined worldwide with the advances in other psychodynamic psychotherapies, behavioral, cognitive, and biological treatments together with the inroads of managed care and other health insurers. As an intellectual discipline, there is relatively little productivity in psychoanalysis, especially as compared
