What is meant by Cure Direction Model?. If we begin by the assumption that all psychoanalytic theorizing fails, as it includes a blind spot within knowledge, and therefore the clinical operational capacity of psychoanalysis is resolved by bringing ethical criteria, a "cure direction model" therefore is, a knowledge of the cause, plus the recognition of the failure of such knowledge (which is not an "extra knowledge" but a line that works as a limit), and an ethical criterion which supports the act of the psychoanalyst.
