| Abstract: | Responds to a commentary by R. Wallerstein (see record 2007-10890-011) on the present author's original article (see record 2006-05420-002) regarding the evolution of psychoanalytic theory. I do not believe that misunderstanding or misrepresentation has played a part in these differences. What I think has been at play for almost 20 years has been a difference in outlook on scientific and social issues, and in our interpretations of the historical course of events affecting psychoanalytic theory. These are reversing in recent years, which I welcome. No objective events have taken place to account for these changes, only subjective developments.
