N2 - In this paper, I present a reading of Emmanuel Ghent as a writer and not merely as a theoretician. I explore the ways Ghent has worked against the latent and lurking Procrusteanism in psychoanalysis and how his distinction and blending of certain key terms – need and neediness, surrender and submission – reveal unconscious logic as paradoxical process. By taking seriously the family likenesses between psychoanalytic and related disciplines, Ghent has been able to counter the hardening of the theoretical arteries in psychoanalysis. Finally and above all, I draw attention to the way Ghent makes the word relationship sound unusually interesting again.
