520 _aDetractors and critics have often questioned both the utility of psychoanalysis and its claim to be scientific. In this article, the author proposes to broaden this debate, shifting the focus to the ethical dimension of psychoanalytical praxis. For a psychoanalytical approach involves the interpretation of a singular truth for the subject, and the question of ethics is immanent to this practice of the interpretation of subjective desire. As Lacan said, the unconscious is itself ethical, rather than ontic. A psychoanalytical approach enables the subject to speak every thought that crosses their mind, and then to develop associations so as to interpret these thoughts, to make sense of them. Thus the very way in which the meaning of this interpretation is defined involves an ethical stance, in so far as the subject is offered no guarantee, but can only proceed via invention.
