Psychoanalysis – and psychoanalysts after Freud – has been divided over whether it is a curiosity profession or a knowledge profession, whether it is more essentially about cure or exploration; the curious, the explorers, can never settle; those who are keen on being knowledgeable and helping people want to settle when it is at all possible. Or to put it another way, when we are not saying curiosity leads to knowledge, we can say curiosity leads to curiosity. That we are not wanting to come to conclusions but to come to beginnings.
