In Europe Freud is outdated. I´ve read a discussion between 
Jacques-Alain Miller and Michel Onfray in the Philosophie Magazine of 
Februari this year, where the Freudian Miller has no answer to Onfray´s 
criticisms. Miller settles for a Lacanian version of psychoanalytics, a 
version that has been cleaned from Freuds 19th century sexual phantasies.
For those who can read French, look at
