We are in love with someone who, it seems, understands our essence, says psychoanalyst Jacques-Alain Miller. Thus, the partner helps us to accept ourselves as we are. Jacques-Alain Miller: Yes, a lot, because it is in the analysis of love is its driving force. I mean the involuntary feeling that the patient has to his analyst - the so-called transfer. This, of course, not true love, but she had the same mechanisms, and they are identified in the sessions of psychoanalysis: we experience the love of the one who, we think, to understand who we really are.
