Words, Lost
and Found

An Archive of Psychoanalytic Language

By Lost and Found Psychotherapy

Words that were lost to overuse,
found through the texts that conceived them.

An archive that keeps psychoanalytic language as complex as it is, without letting it turn vague or misrepresented. Written for clinicians and trainees, and anyone who wants to know what a word really means, before a meme got to it.
